I wake up to two emails from friends (younger than I am) regarding my post from yesterday.
One headlines her email with: I can top your story from yesterday
At hand surgeon's office about my wrist pain. The 30 year old Physician Assistant is doing the pre work. After she does my medical history and preliminary exam, she asks if I've had any changes in my personal life. I say, "Like what?" and she says, "Any new grandchildren?"
Seriously, that hurt more than the wrist pain.
Do I look like a grandmother?
The other emails me with the following:
Same thing happened to me.
I was talking to a neighbor on the street, chatting happily for 15 minutes.
She walks away and a garage attendant says to me,"That your daughter?"
"Excuse me," I say, thinking surely I didn't hear him properly.
He repeats the question.
I want to put my head in an oven.
She is 36 years old.
I decided she looks 18 and that it was a compliment after all.
Its all in the perspective!
