Yo' Momma

I was at the local Trader Joe's yesterday buying some stuff for dinner. My husband had taken my car, so I had his keys to the Miata. Mr. Man may present himself as a reckless, motorcycle-driving-fast-car-buying kind of guy, but he is a geek at heart. (I am frankly surprised that he doesn't wear his safety vest more often.) So naturally, he has a pair of acoustical earplugs on his key chain to protect his hearing while driving long distances in the convertible.

As I was making small talk with the 20-year-old checker, he noticed the earplugs.

"Are those yours?"

"Uhm, they're for the convertible- to protect hearing on long trips."

"Oh. I thought maybe you had a son who was in a band."

That was the end of the small talk.

I realize that technically, if I had a child at 15, I could have a son who was in a band by now.

But seriously?

I think I need to head over to Cèsar for a drink. The waiters there always card me.

Ouch! I remember the first time a barely 20 kid working the drive thru window called me Ma'am.
Hello? I was only 30. (and he was gorgeous! so disappointing.)

I recently overheard a high-schooler tell someone she was going to see a Proclaimers concert. When asked who that was the girl said it was a Scottish band of guys "in their 60s." No honey, they're my age (46). Double ouch. Just goes to show that these youngsters have no concept of age (goes with no expectation of mortality). BTW, I've been reading your blog for several months now and I think it's great. I never comment on any websites (despite my substantial -- no, compulsive -- surfing) but I couldn't resist b/c I'm particularly feeling my age today after an eye-opening trip to The Gap.
