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!
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteHey 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.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support!

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