Commenting on how time flies and how kids are growing like a weed…those are old lady comments, in my book. Purchasing fiber capsules and complaining about my hardened feet and sore muscles? OMG, those are old lady actions too.
Dude! I am turning into an old lady!
- A friend of mine has a daughter who just got accepted to Dartmouth. Not only is that amazing and impressive, but I knew this woman when she was pregnant with this little Dartmouthian. What did I utter? “Wow, she has sure grown up.”*
*old lady comment
- I was on Facebook and ran across a woman who just got married. A beautiful bride. I knew her when she was a six-year-old. What did I comment? “I knew you when you were just a little girl.”*
*old lady comment
- The radio was on and it was Rihanna. Again. The words out of my mouth? “How can kids listen to this?”* Bah, music these days. And I changed it to the jazz station to listen to–get this–Eartha Kitt and Tommy Dorsey.
*old lady comment
- I go to the kitchen cabinet only to discover I’m low on–what else? Fiber capsules.*
*old lady purchase
My thirteen-year-old officially towers over me, standing tall at 6′. Am I shrinking, like old ladies do? I quickly measured myself. Whew, still 5’8″.
Then I jumped in the car (because I still can) and drove fast (because I still can), blasted some Rihanna, and stocked up on fiber capsules.
You’re not old at all
Haha! Funny Pip!!! I find myself making dreaded old man comments all the time
I’ve been saying old lady comments since I was 12. Apparently, I use “oh dear” often enough that my son now says it. Poor kid.
Ha! Piglet from Winnie the Pooh also says “oh dear” and it’s so cute!
XO,
