Ha ha I felt young again earlier this week! I had to take my BF's son to school and check him in because he was late. So the secretary was like, "Are you his mother?" I said, "I sure am not! I'm his dad's girlfriend." And the secretary was like, "I was confused for a moment. You don't look old enough to be his mother. I thought you were one of the students here." I was like, "Oh, you wonderful, wonderful woman!"
On a related note, when we go to my BF's son's gridiron meetings, I look at other parents there and realize I'm about ten or fifteen years younger than all of them. Once a mother asked me if my son played on the football team. I smiled and said, "For me to have a child in high school, I would have had to have him when I was in high school."
So I have still yet to realize or feel as if I'm getting old. I think my students even feel as if I'm not much older than them, and in many cases I'm not! Although, I'm proud of my age (31) and I don't resent getting older, although I might not be too fond of aging, which is different. I have plenty of friends (maybe six or seven) who died in the past, and who never made it to be my age at all, so I'm young, but in many ways, still very blessed!
I guess I'm lucky - no noises from either end yet!
