Thought I would share a Funny incident with my BOTT family.  Before I start, let me give you a few facts about myself.  I am almost 49 years young and have never had children.  Until about 10 years ago, I was still carded for purchases of alcohol.   I have been married to my DH for 30 years this year and the only young'uns in our life are feline furballs.    

I went to Harris Teeter (supermarket)  on Friday night after work and purchased some lunchables, they were on sale 10 for $10.00.  My husband loves to have them on hand for snacks and sometimes a light lunch.  We usually only have the small ones with crackers, meat and cheese.  I put 20 in my buggy and went to check out.   My cashier was a pretty little lady of about 20 yrs old.  As she is processing my order, she looks up and says, " Are you buying these for your GRANDchildren?'      

I wanted to reach around that counter and SLAP her! (not really)  Then she proceeds to tell me she would need to eat more than one to make a meal.  I told her they were for my husband and he was only allowed one at a time!                      

I told my husband this story the next morning as we were getting dressed to start our day.  I looked right at him and asked if I LOOKED like I could be a GRANDMA.  His reply was as follows:  How old was your mother when she was a Grandma?  I told him she was 38 yrs old .  He said, see your older then your mother was when she was a Grandma.  I replied that was not the question I asked.  I asked if I LOOKED like a GRANDMA.  He then replied that he just knew whatever his answer would be, it would be wrong!

How funny.   

You must remember, looing like a Grandma to a 20 yo is quite different thatn looking like a Grandma is to a 30 yr old.    Looking like a Grandma is on a sliding scale.

I really do think it was funny.  I feel younger now at 49 then I ever did at 21 years old.  I guess all the wrinkles and extra skin was younger looking when it was filled with fat!

I earned every wrinkle so I will wear them with pride!
