Just picked my wife up from work and popped down to the Chemist to get her something for her head-cold. She was feeling tired and miserable and looking a bit worse for the wear and still in her work clothes.

We needed a few grocery items so called around to the Supermarket. After wandering around and getting what we needed we approached the check-out. While I was finishing unloading onto the conveyer, the young chap behind the counter picked up the hair colouring my wife had got and looking at me joked how it would suit me. (I've got a very short No.2). So agreeing I needed something to "cover my greys", he said at 22 he already had a few himself. I looked at him and said, "You know, I'm 30 years older than you." He looked shocked and said, "No way!" I said, "I'll be 53 next month," and he reckoned there's no way I looked anywhere like that old! :sunny:

So I said, "We've been married 33 years!" He said, "Who too?" I pointed to my wife... His jaw nearly hit the floor! :gob:

He topped our day when he exclaimed, "What was she, like 9 years old???!!!!"

My wife came home feeling so much better...!!!

I keep telling her I'm beginning to look like a cradle-snatcher. She just won't look her age! You'd be surprised how close we are in age, I'm not THAT much older! :angry:

She often gets mistaken for our daughters' sister! Much to their annoyance!

You should have smashed him - He obviously picked you for a fag and was hitting on you.

You know any salesman worth his commission says 'Good morning Miss, is your Mother in?' no matter what old dragon opens the door.

Some people are just stupid! I always assume that a small kid is with a parent, and then if I am wrong and it is the grandparent, I haven't insulted anyone.
I had someone pass a comment when I was out with my step son - they thought he was my boyfriend (he looks much older than he is) :sick: gross!

Smart thinking! Mind you, the bit about your stepson is really a compliment to you, isn't it?

My wife often gets mistaken for the girls' sister when they out together, and when she picked up our Grandson from school the other week she was mistaken for his Mum! I picked him up yesterday and his relieving teacher told him, "Your Dad's here!" Whne I corrected her she looked shocked and said, "You're not old enough!" :sunny:
