mrdreamjeansThe Divine Bovine and I were at Wal-Mart yesterday (yes, it is the biggest store in town:) to get my reading glasses repaired (which I just got last Fall and hate to admit needing). I was having a good day until the young salesperson who waited on me cheerily asked me, "Is this your son?" (referring to Timothy who was standing behind me).
In a gritted, strangulated tone, I answered, "Nooooo..." and then she said, "Oh, he must be your brother then. You look so much a like!" Arrrggghhh! I wanted to slap her perky, pretty (and so young) face! LOL!
Yes, Tim and I have reddish beards in common, but that is about it. Tim will dine out on that exchange for a long time:) In fact, I had to listen to him sing, Papa, Can You Hear Me" for the remainder of the day. (which I confess made me laugh).
This has happened before, but only in Texas!

Re: I think I can top that one...
Date: 2004-06-10 03:43 pm (UTC)Me, I've been blessed/cursed with looking mature for my age. The BWM episode in which Ed is called "Pops" is based on a true incident that happened to me...before I turned 50.
But then, I also had kids thinking I was Santa before I turned 45...
