Life is Good!
My daughter and I went out to do a little Christmas shopping today and while we were standing in the ungodly line at Kohl’s an older gentleman started chatting with Ashlyn. When I say older, I mean in his 60s or 70s, so he wasn’t creepy, he was grandfather-esque. So after a few minutes of bantering with her, he discovers she’s 17 when he thought she was 13 or 14. Then he turns to me and says, “So, are the two of you in school?” ROFLMAO! Ashlyn does the requisite eyerolling. I say “I’m her Mom.” ::BIG CHEESY GRIN:: The older gents smacks his wife on the arm, and says “SHE’s ::points at me:: HER ::points at Ashlyn:: Mom!” His wife does a double take and says “I thought they were friends or sisters! She doesn’t look like her mom!” Yeah, life is good. This happens to us ALL the time. Waiters wanting to separate our check, grocery store checkers freaking out when she calls me Mom, etc. Just everywhere.
I keep telling her she should be thankful because when she’s pushing 40, she’ll probably be just like me. I also threatened to go to college with her so I can show her how to get invited to all the really cool parties. She isn’t going for it so far. Too bad for her, I used to get invited to ALL the cool soirees!
Muahahahahahahaha!
Don’t forget to go visit Scooter McGavin! He’s about to move out, and we’re going to miss him. But not for long, I’ll be visiting his site often, and so should you!

Haha. That happens to me and my mom a lot too.

A lot of people are surprised to see that my mom has a son that’s 22. She’s only 40, but doesn’t quite look it. So, maybe I’ve inherited enough of her genetic code to still look great when I’m 40.

I’m also lucky that I got the good genes from my Mom. People trip out when they find out I’m in my 40s. My daughter is so lucky! LOL!
