As Old As You Feel
I was in talking to my manager awhile ago, when he asked today's date.
"7th", I told him. "My birthday is in 10 days ... that's how I know."
"Ohhh... " He said, "Turning 21 again?"
I shrugged and said, "Nope. 35. I'm not ashamed of it. "
I then saw both my manager, and my new trainee/coworker do TRIPLE-takes as they digested the information that I was turning thirty-five. I stared, and smirked, then had to laugh as they honestly stuttered "THIRTYFI...Thirty...THIRTY-five?" I tried really hard to keep a poker face, but couldnt ... HAD to laugh at their reaction. Gee. One had me pegged at 25, the other at about 28. Mwahahahaha!!! Chalk up two men who instantly got on my good side (at least for the rest of the day). d;)

Enjoy it! I'll be 37 in November if I'm lucky, and I get that reaction fairly often myself. I find it not only insanely flattering, but amusing to boot. :) Happy Early Birthday.
