I Must Look Old

I've started physical therapy for my back, per request of ortho. dr.
Anywho, I'm there, doing some type of stretch next to a lady who looked like she could be my mom's age. So, we're chewing the fat about how bad this type of stretch hurts & therapy & our aches & pains, when I make the comment, "Gee, ya hit thirty & it's all downhill", then I laughed.

And she said, "You're only thirty?"

I kinda wanted to swallow my chin. So I just told her that I was actually 32. And when I said it, I actually wanted to say, "You think I look older than thirty?" But I didn't. But she must've thought about how it sounded, or realized that I looked like I wanted to vomit.

So she said, "Thirty's nothing. I'm 55."

Then, I was at the store & a man told his son to hold the door for me. But instead of saying, "Son, hold the door for this chic." He said, "Hold the door for that LADY."

If someone calls me mam in the near future, I'm going to start wearing stretchy jeans & comfortable shoes.
