hollysaffron: you are not old !!!
That reminds me of something that happened the other night.
My friend & I went out. While there, we ran into a guy friend & his girlfriend... they're both a bit younger. We got to talking to her & she was so sweet. When I mentioned that I have 3 grandchildren, her jaw dropped open. Then she gave sort of a "back-handed compliment" that I know she didn't mean the way I heard it. She said to both of us, "When I get older, I want to look like you two!" Now, that was definitely a compliment, but kind of stung in a way. I just smiled & said, "Aw, that's very nice of you!"
