>Go Ahead. Make My Day
>At my stepdaughters’ Parents Night last night, a mom stopped my husband in the hallway.
“Remember me?” she said. “Our daughters were in junior high together!”
“Oh, yeah,” he bluffed, smiling.
She looked at me beside him. “And were you in a class with Gabby?” she asked.
I grinned wildly. “No,” I said happily. “Actually, no I wasn’t.”
She paused and her eyes traveled down to Punky and Bruiser in his stroller. “Oh my! I thought you were a student here,” she said, before giving me an embarrassed look and heading on down the hall.
“Thank you!” I called out after her. “That’s the nicest thing anyone’s said to me in weeks!”
The mom looked back at me and we both started laughing.
>How great that you saved her from her embarrassment and you both had a laugh. And you got a compliment! ;^)
>Oh that is WONDERFUL! You can definitely bask in that glory for awhile! What a great compliment!! I have a friend in her 30s who is always mistaken for being her husband’s mom eesh!
>Get lots of mileage out of that one. I love it!
>cute!
>You are the ultimate Yummy Mummy~~enjoy the compliment!!
>Maybe you were a student that got very unlucky her freshman year.
>Oh dear, you were wearing your tacky khaki and so sad polo weren’t you?
>That’s great for you…the last time I was mistaken for a younger age I was 32, pregnant and buying my husband a case of beer for a party…now that was a little uncomfortable 🙂
>I’d have to write that one down and hang it on my mirror. That way I could look at it every day! Too funny!
>Haaaaaa!!!! Every now and then that happens to my husband and I (14 years age diff) and I LOVE it! My step-daugter-in-law LOVES introducing me as her MOTHER-in-law (no ‘step’)just to see the funny reactions it gets (13 years age diff). She especially enjoyed doing it at her birthday costume party where I was dressed as “Bald, pregnant Brittney Spears”. Yeah…..we have a warped family!
>That’s even better than getting carded at a bar!
>Hey! You could have been 16 when you had your older daughters, right?It is possible!
>That is toooooo funny :)Looking young and vibrant is not so bad..
>Ha, I love it when that happens! Last time I bought books I was asked if I was getting ready to go back to high school. I’m 31…
>Mwaha ha ha ha!I love it. May I ask how much of an age difference between your hubs and you? I get similar things all the time, I am 29 and hubs is 43. We have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and another on the way…. as well as I have two step sons 12 and 17.I think it’s funny when people think that my step son is my brother….or worse my boyfriend!!!
>That is awesome, I would have that put on a t-shirt. Once I said thanks to the guy who carded me at the grocery store and he replied, “We have to card everyone who looks under 40.” I’m 36. If only he’d said, “. . .under 30.”
>We’re 15 years apart.
>Exactly the way I feel when any cards me. Not that I ever buy alcohol or anything. I’m just saying if I did and they carded me, same feeling.
>That must’ve felt great! I cringe when I don’t ger carded buying wine, so I would probably jump up and down if someone said this to me!
>Wow, I wish something like that would happen to me. I still wish I could at least get carded every once in a while but no such luck. What kind of skin cream do you use?
>That’s pretty awesome. Maybe you can pass for a kid at the movies and get a discount there too.
>like the humor in your answer! I’ve been mistaken for my mother’s sister; I always tell her that I’m not insulted, it’s a compliment to her. She was a young mom, anyway.
