Today, while standing at the worlds slowest elevator with the UPS man, we started to chat. He was a late twenty something man, with a nice smile.
Him: Will I be glad when this day is over.
Me: I know, me too! It’s so humid!
Him: Yeah, my wife just called me and she wants me to get groceries on the way home. She says it’s too hot for her to drag out the kids.
Me: My husband told me to go to the grocery store too, even though I wanted to wait.
Him: What are your kids getting hungry?
Me: (laughing) My kid is 28 years old!
Him: (looking truly startled, dear boy!) You have a 28 year old?
Me: (still laughing) Yup! And she would think this was funny.
Him: Wow! You don’t look old enough to have a 28 year old daughter!!!
Me: Thanks. I’ll tell her that.
As I walked away from the elevator at the bottom of the building, I could feel a little spring in my step! It’s not that I’m ancient or anything, but well, I know my days of people not believeing I am A.M.’s mother are limited. Anyday now they will be seeing me with small children and calling me “granny”!!
Yup. I’m changing the Will. That UPS man deserves something for making my day!
I love it when that happens. I don’t have a problem with my age but I adore when people think I look younger than I am.
You don’t look old enough…and neither do I 😉
