I do not look that old...Updated with PIP

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Some old fart called me a grandma at the grocery store today. Yeah no. I didn't start procreating at the age of 15 like a majority of the uneducated morons in this town. Dude is lucky I did my yoga and was all "namaste" this morning or I would have gone off. I'm only 29, yo!

Update:

My hair is a disaster today because it's raining and I was running errands. And I have a little bandaid on my cheek because I had a spot biopsied last week.



OOTD Style:

Once I was in the college library with my friend and her baby (brand new quiet baby so don't judge me.) We were both still in school so maybe we were 22? This lady walks up and goes "aww look, mom (pointing to my friend), baby, and grandma (points to me.)" I still feel like crying about it.

[bonquiqui]

oh hell no

Melinda, you barely look old enough to procreate. That is ridiculous.

And this was 11 years ago when I was thin and not emotionally scarred. :-( :-( :-(

Some old lady at the grocery store kept calling me 'Girl' today. It was irritating.

I hate that library lady so much.
Truly, as an outsider...you look young and fresh and happy. You look nothing like a grandma.

[melindafelinda]

I love you.

You do not look like a grandma.

When I was around 21 and my SIL was 19 I went into her work with her and her coworker said "Oh!! Is this your mom?". It still makes me feel like crap.

A couple of months ago I took my 2 year old for ice cream and an older guy (probably 65ish) asked if I'm his mom or grandma. I'm 33. WTF. I was pretty upset about it.

[speckledfrog]

Was he a young guy? Even people in their early 20s think people in their late 20s are old. When I moved into my college dorm there was a girl who, looking back, was about 23 or so and I though she was old as fuck.

[melindafelinda]

Not grandma. People are assholes.

[bonquiqui]

He was an ass. You do not look like a grandma /gavel

[speckledfrog]

I always want to ask high schoolers how old they think I am. but I don't because then they'd think I was old and crazy.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Thanks guys. I didn't think I did, even with the bad hair day and bandaid, but am still feeling a little rattled at that comment.

I guess for some context, I was thumping watermelons and DS was helping me thump and this old guy, probably 70s, comes up and says to DS, "Teaching your grandma how to shop, huh?" I just smiled kind of like Whuuuu? and walked away.

He's probably so old that he has no concept of what various ages look like anymore. Like 5 year olds, but on the reverse end.

I really think this is it. The first year I chaperoned Homecoming at the school where I work, one of the moms asked me what grade my daughter was in. I was like, Bitch I was 14 when the YOUNGEST of these kids was born. But in retrospect I think that she, at 50, feels like she looks like she's 28 and therefore we must be about the same age.

Sawyer, people are just stupid. I was shopping with my sister when we were both in high school and some old lady asked my sister if she was taking her daughter (me) shopping. We were 15 and 17. There was no way she looked like my mom.

[partiallysunny]

People are idiots.

[hisno1girl]

What a shitty thing for someone to say!

Believe me, you don't even look remotely close to being old enough to be a grandma.

Signed,
Someone who is too young to be a Grandma, but still is one.
lol

Oh and I also had a person at a nursing home call my cousin my son when he was 9 and I was 14, so yeah.
