Mom, you're getting old

Isn't this what every Mom loves to hear? Nice. So I ask K1, very politely, "What makes you say I'm old?" Here are her responses & my arguments in return -

1. Your hands are getting wrinkley
Why yes, they sure are. And sweetie, yours will too.

2. Your eyes are lighter green
Since my eyes are technically hazel, they look different depending on what color shirt I am wearing.

3. Your eyebrows have gray in them
No, they don't. I check those.
(Now my HAIR is a different matter entirely, but I WASN'T going to tell her that!)

4. Your hair isn't as dark of brown
It's summer and we're outside a lot - so hair gets lighter. Your hair is more blonde now, right? (a nod)

5. Your cheeks are super soft
Well that's a good thing.

6. Your cheeks aren't as soft as Grandmas. Hers have fur.
hehehehehehehehe
(I REALLY couldn't help myself from giggling. Aw, come on - could YOU keep a straight face???)

7. The middle of the end of your nose is squishey.
WHAT???
(And more giggles - thus ending the conversation)


Now YOU know what to look for as signs of aging! Good luck.

A 19 year old girl I worked with asked me how old I was, and then replied, "I didn't think you were THAT old."

Thanks. If I'm old, you must be in your dotage.
