Maybe I need to color that gray…

Posted on by

At the grocery store check-out today, the cashier looked at the decorated big cookie for Jesse’s birthday party from the bakery and said, “Oh, is your grandson having a birthday?”

That would be my son, thank you very much. 😕

  2. Oh, that hurts! But it sounds like you are able to laugh at yourself which is the best trait of any mama, or grandma for that matter.

    And our racoon … no, he has not made himself a pest. We see him frequently in the night. We can tell something is out there when the motion sensors go off, so we will get up and look and sure enough. He seems to be foraging in the yard. But this is the first time he has been around in the daytime. I assume it is the same racoon. Perhaps it is a whole family. Yikes!

    Thanks so much for stopping by. BTW, I love that header. So autumnal 🙂

  3. I love the new header on your blog, Barbara! and I know just how you feel in regards to being asked if you are your son’s grandmother. Because I had Daniel at 35, many people thought and still think….IF they don’t know me…..that I’m his grandmother. When he was still a baby, I went for a walk in our neighborhood and was pushing Daniel in his stroller. Two little boys were playing and very innocently said as they pointed our way….”look at that little baby and his grandma. hi!” and they waved at us. That was the first time I was called his grandmother. *grin* I learned to take it in stride. *smile*

  4. ooooh-I know how you feel. I have stopped coloring my hair, but my mother-in-law colors hers. I took her for her pt and they asked if I was her sister!! She is 79 and I am 55—-needless to say it did not make my day 😉 !!!

  6. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement. 🙂 Thinking about it over the afternoon, I have to admit I am old enough to be a grandmother. But it is probably one of those things where it is better to err on the other side — like not assuming a lady with a loose dress and a bit of a tummy is pregnant and asking when she’s due, only to find out she’s not. 🙂

  7. I’m 37 (soon to be 38) and technically I’m old enough to be a grandmother (scary thought isn’t it?). I never comment on mother vs. grandmother (or father vs. grandfather and at my sons preschool I have a question on this one) or the “when are you due”? NEVER…. it’s a rule of mine. I’ve been burned on the pregnant thing before. On both ends of the equasion. I think you look great so that lady must have needed glasses.
