Today we were in line to check out at a store in the mall. The young sales associate asked the woman in front of us, "Are you Colby's Mom?" Before the woman could answer she went on to tell about how she knew him from working somewhere else and how they have been out "clubbing" together a few times.
The woman confirmed that yes, she was Colby's Mom.
The sales associate said, "I thought so! I saw you two together once and teased him that his Mom looked so young that she really looked more like his sister!"
Of course you can imagine that this woman looked really happy with that statement!
And the then the sales associate said, "Yeah, but I was really just joking; just giving him a hard time."
Ouch..
Reminds me of the time a hair stylist told me that she loved my hair style. And then followed up with, "When I get old, maybe I'll be brave enough to try that hairstyle too."
Double ouch!
But here's the deal. I still took the hairstyle comment as a compliment and the woman in line at the store really did look too young to have a son that was old enough to go out "clubbing"! So it's all good!
Keep on smiling!
