I'm at this store shopping for clothes with my 2 daughters, 2 nieces, and 1 nephew. And I have to tell you I was having one of those days where I was feeling really good about myself. Had on these cute, tight denim capris, new sandals, etc. So, we're at the counter paying and my 7 year old nephew is beside me. I was telling the sales lady where we're from (NH, but we're vacationing in AZ). I told her that I had to come out and spend time with my little cutie, and I patted my nephew's head. The sales lady then says to me, "Is he your grandson?" I had all I could do to not crawl over the counter and strangle the bitch. I said to her, "Do I look old enough to have a grandson?" And she says, "Well, you can't always tell. Do I look old enough to have 15?" And I wanted to say YES. She had long gray hair, an old face...she looked every bit of 55 or more. Needless to say, my afternoon was a bit tarnished. Thankfully my little Darlings were smart enough to keep telling me how preposterous it was that anyone would ever think that of me. I have trained them so well.....

You know, that's kinda like the rule of never assuming someone is pregnant. If you don't know, do NOT mention it.

this might be more a comentary on the fact that more women are having them young and their kids having them young etc....you can be a grandmother by 30 nowadays. If you have a kid at 15 and your kid has a kid at 15, it's possible

okay ....

Come on, are you really so inscensed by someone you'd never met before, and may very well never met again saying that?

It's just a number, the only power you give it is your own.

Yeah, you old hag

If you've "never been so insulted" in your life, then things ain't that bad. I only wish that was the worst somebody could say about me!

You mean you didn't!?

I would have jumped at the opportunity.

No, I didn't. She totally invited an insult, yet I couldn't do it. I said NO and feigned surprise, just to make her feel good.

Are you Jesus or something?

I have a 15 year old daughter so I guess I can't relate! I wasn't a young mom either....

I wish I could have seen the look on your face when she said that.

I'm sure you could find a picture that illustrates it better than words. It was a cross between looking like I was just punched in the stomach and also like I ate a bad clam.

Oh girl!

Today I took my boyfriend to pick up his car, and the man at the desk asked him if I was his daughter. He was serious..
