Burn!

#1 I told my Mom I was getting my hair cut. Her response: Why? It actually looks really nice for a change. Wow. Yeah. Thanks. I wonder why I have a hard time taking compliments when I grew up getting that kind of praise.

#2 At the movie concession counter a young guy was waiting on me. I was being my usual friendly self and he smiled at me. Then he asked "Hey, do you have a daughter that goes to *local high school*? I reply "Um... no. My children are not in high school." He says "Oh, you really look like this girl I just met who's in Grade Nine (except you're old!)." I walk off mumbling "High School! High School!? I look old enough to have a kid in High School?"

I've had my 14 year old brother been mistaken as my son on many occasions starting when I was 15 and he was a year old (which while I guess it could be possible is so very wrong). So I feel for you. Sometimes I think people don't think before they open their mouths.

You do NOT look old enough to have a child in High School. Peter maybe, but not you.

Teenagers... everything over 20 looks "old" to them, try not to take it personally.

Ya, what Bon said. And your hair always looks great! I'd never trust a stylist who had no style, and darlin' I trust you completely. :]
