Respect Your Elders
Yesterday I went with my sister Sara to get a pedicure. I am four years and seven months older than she is.
The girl working on my feet looked at both of us and then asked if I was Sara's mother. And I still gave her a good tip (must have been the dementia setting in).
Which reminds me:
A few months ago, JD was pushing Macy through the hospital cafeteria when a worker leaned down to the stroller and tried to engage Macy. When Macy turned to look up at JD, the worker asked "oh, is that your grandpa?"
I'm not sure which is worse.

Oh, we love people and the stupid things they say. Remember when Sara was 16 we all went to dinner and the lady brought her a children's menu and sippy cup.
That is funny. My dad used to get asked if my mom (2 years younger) was his daughter. I usually seem to be the kind of person that would say stupid things like that. I've decided it is better to just stop talking to people so that I stop putting my foot in my mouth.
That's too funny. Didn't you try and get a new library card after you got married and they said you needed your parent's permission?
Funny. Corey and I have lots of embarrassing stories about looking young. Thanks to Rebecca you now all remember one of them. :)
At one of Rebecca's bridal showers, a Pulsipher relative asked me if I was her mother. I was so bothered, and I can relate. Next time--no tip!
Laura and J.D. that is so funny-but i bet it wasn't that funny at the time.
I went to pick up some of my medication at the pharmacy-they can never find it-i then have to spell it...when he found the rx he said "oh yeah...i remember this one-your POPS dropped it off this morning." I smirked and did a little giggle and he said, "I always refer to my dad as POPS." I just grabbed my slip-signed my name and then said no that was my husband with a smile.
Don't worry Laura. The other day someone asked me if I was Joe's mother..... they were totally serious!
I love the comment about Sara getting a children's menu and sippy cup. That is so dang funny. She just looks so young.
Hope you are doing well.
loves.....
