So, the other night the family and I went out to Johnny Rocket's for dinner. When we were done eating Hubby took Big Brother and Little Sister to the Apple store to return my power cord while I stayed and behind to wait for the milkshakes we were taking home with us. They were playing some rocking song like Margaritaville or Cheeseburger in Paradise and I was singing along and dancing with Big Sister. Yes, we were standing at the counter waiting on our milkshakes and I was singing and dancing. Yes, I know how much of a dork that makes me - which is what makes the story even funnier.
All of a sudden a young guy, a kid really (early twenties - must have been a college kid) comes up and stands next to us. I immediately stop bouncing around and remember that I am making a fool of myself in a public place. Big Sister does not take the hint and starts to sing louder - but that's okay she is one and cute as opposed to me who is .... well, not one and not cute. :) The guy is young but he is kinda cute too. I smile at him and then the following conversation ensues:
College Kid - She is so cute. Is she your sister?
Me - (trying not to laugh in his face) Well, that is flattering but no she is my daughter.
College Kid - Oh, so I guess that means you have a husband too?
Me - (smiling and still trying REALLY hard not to laugh) Yes, I have a husband.
College Kid - Too bad.
Me - Umm... thanks.
At that point our milkshakes are ready and we leave. I swear I wanted to tell the guy I was practically old enough to be HIS mother. Well, that is an exaggeration but none the less I found it so amusing. Hubby says he cannot figure out why it is so funny but it really really was. I suppose the idea that this kid looked at me and did not immediately see a mom may be what put me over the top. Maybe I just feel old, but I feel like I certainly look old enough to have a one year old. And I MOST CERTAINLY do NOT look young enough to have a one year old sister. Anyway, it made me chuckle so I hope it does the same for you. :)
