Today Lily and I were out shopping and a women said to Lily, "Are you having a good day out with your grandmom?" She then looked at me and said, "My granddaughter is a litte older than yours. Aren't they great?" To be honest I don't remember how I replied...you know, the mind is the first thing to go! After I recovered from the blow to the stomach I think I said something like, "Come on Lily, hold Mommy's hand and get far, far away from that crazy old lady who obviously needs her eyes examined!" ;-)
The sad thing is I thought I looked pretty good today. I had a good night's sleep. I didn't have dark circles under my eyes...I left my housecoat, slippers, and rollers at home...I mean honestly!
Don't get me wrong, I am well aware of the fact that I am old enough to be a grandmother. It's just if I'm already being mistaken for Lily's grandmother now what's going to happen when she's in kindergarten?? Middle school?? College??
I need to calm down. It's not good for a woman my age to get too worked up. Good night now. Mee Maw needs to get some rest.

Now, TJ, I don't understand this at all. When I'm out and about with my granddaughter, Cassidy, people generally assume that I'm her mother. And I have WAAAY more grey hair and wrinkles than you do, girl! Clearly, that woman needs to have her vision prescription checked.
Your much older cousin,
Eileen
TJ,
I've been given the senior discount at the movie theater well before I deserved it. As far as I'm concerned, you're one HOT "Grandma"!
HA! Keep on stepping out with your little lady!

Oh yes... I've been there. I was at the mall - looking down over the railing onto the floor below with Sean in the stroller next to me - and a little child pointed up and said in a VERY LOUD voice (it still hurts my ears today) "Look - there's Grandma!" I was 38.
OUCH! that lady needs her yes and her head examined. But you have the best sense of humor:)
