I was sitting in my surgeon's office and this little old lady came in with a walker. She was a friendly person, chatting away to me while we waited. She asked if I was from Thunder Bay, and I said no, and told her where I was from, and that I had just moved here in July.
With a poker straight face she asked me, 'Oh, did you move into the senior residence there?' I literally sputtered, I mean yes, the front of my hair is grey, but I've have been grey in front my whole life, and I know I wear bi-focals, but hey! my optometrist said I could fly a plane because I can see a mile away, I just can't see anything in front of me. lol
I didn't think I looked that old!!!! LOL

Oh, I can relate SD!! I have been asked numerous times if my kids (7 and 11) are my grandchildren. I was asked it more when they were younger...it's painful to be associated with being so much older than you feel you look!!

I mean really what gives the more advanced in years people the nerve to ask such questions :shock:

Oh gosh... what my grandmother used to say in public. She forgot people could hear her. So many sticky moments... funny later... I still giggle about them. I'd keep thinking, just wait till Dad hears this one and I'd giggle all the way home. Oh boy. :roll: :oops:
