That happened to my mom in the grocery store once and she did say "Wow, that kid must have a young grandma."
'Sleeper'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(delurking here, too; wow, this may become habit forming...)
Two days ago, whilst picking up my daughter up from preschool, 2 other little girls approached and asked if I was [daughter's] grandma or mom. When I answered that I was her mom, they responded as though I'd just settled a bet. I'm not even 40 yet. Sigh.
Hugs to thems that needs 'em. Stoopid Fridays.
We still talk about the time my littlest brother told my great-Aunt Ida, with great joy, that her arms "waggled underneath." Luckily, she was not only was not offended, she had him sit on her lap so he could waggle them himself.
That means they think you are the source of all comfort, hugs and warm laps, cookies and cocoa, bedtime stories and puppet shows!
Having read these words, I was struck with a sudden and violent yearning for all these things.
Solange, it is totally habit forming. In an awesome way.
Go great-Aunt Ida!
I want a Klondike bar.
wrod. Love them. Love Drumsticks more, but Klondikes are good too.
It's cold and dreary out, I'm exhausted, and I just want to go home, curl up under my afghan, and fall asleep.
Yet, I am here at work, trying to get through regulations without dozing off at my desk.
Soooooo sleeeeeeepppppyyyyyyy...
omg, I am Kathy. (except I am working on meeting minutes).
I have to leave for a rushed out of office errand in about 15 minutes, then afterwork errands - Friday night being the late night is necessary, but no good when I'm tired. season change/earlier darkness is not helping.
So I was looking at this drawing Lillian did: [link]
And it suddenly occurred to me that, heh, it looks a LOT like Salon's artistic representation of Glenn Greenwald: [link]
I suspect my mother was mistaken for my grandmother often, and my sister for my mother. Not sure which of them would have been most put out by it.
My condolences to thems what's having a bad Friday.
I had a hair cut yesterday, first time in over 8 weeks. Yay! Now I have a shiny new bob.
