The guy was probably in his 60's. He immediately struck up a conversation with me and we chatted most of the day.
I had invited one of the new consultants on my team to stop by to see how I set up my booth. This woman has been out of college a few years. She worked as a teacher and now stays home with her 1-year-old son.
After the woman left, the older man asked me, "Was that your daughter?"
"WHAT'S YOU TALKIN ABOUT WILLIS?!?" I answered in my head. Then I replied, "Ummm. No."
"Do you have children?" the man asked.
"Yes. They are EIGHT. SIX. AND F-O-U-R!" I answered.
Well, today I was working another booth and the same woman came to help. We were chatting about her mother-in-law. She explained that her husband's mother is very young to be a grandma. She's 40.
40.
For the record, I am NOT old enough to be this woman's mother. I am exactly 39 years, nine months and three weeks old.
Not 40.

Holy cow! That's funny! I think that once the big 4-0 gets here and is gone, you will feel much better. In the meantime, I will be wracking (racking?) my brain to come up with some grand form of torture for you on your big day!
I love you Emil!

Ha, ha, ha!! Thanks, Lynnamint! Now, you seem to be handling your transition to the 40s without a second thought! You haven't even started a blog to whine on and on about it, or anything! What's your secret?
Hey Emily.....thanks for your sweet comment on our blog. Nice to reconnect. I like the "look" of your blog! Pretty color choices! Maybe when I come out of "my darkness".....I'll have to get a little more colorful.....
Thanks for your support!

Hey Emily... I love how you can make me laugh out loud! Makes my husband wonder what I'm reading... thank you!

So that means you'll always be just a little too young to be her mother, then, right? =)
