Thanks Mom and Dad.

So I was at a customer's house today and the woman came outside to talk to me. We had gotten into conversation where she had mentioned the "man" who (used to) work part time for me. She said she couldn't believe how young he looked. I said, well yes...he is 19 and he's my son's (who is 18) best friend. She looks at me and said, but you don't look old enough to be the mom of a teenager....I said, are you kidding me? I'm a gramma....she just gasped in disbelief and said you couldn't possibly be a grandmother..Yes I am. cool Thanks to Mom and Dad for passing on the youthful gene! yay

What would you be thankful for that your Mom and/or Dad has passed onto you?dunno teddybear

Cyber thank you for reminding me laugh And sadly, your parents haven't passed on the gene of sense of humor and understanding subtle things like irony, self-irony etc laugh
Yep Red wink wave
(memo to myself)Put Ariel back on "ignore list".

There wasn't that funny?
Cyber you get ridiculous laugh Common we are adults!
Ariel...now who doesn't have the sense of humor, and doesn't understand irony?

Of course I was joking duhhhh? doh
I thought you were more creative Cyber and wouldn't use my arguments wink But let's not hijack the blog! handshake wave
All women are the perfect creation for sure. About the 'lion'?

The lion roars at night....
Oh dear doh uh oh
I always get compliments how I look younger. Yeppers, Mom & Dad get the credit. They also passed on to me how to get along with people. I love them for many reasons but those two are pretty good!
hehehe I'm sure he does, stony roll eyes laugh blushing wink
Ed....spend a day in my household...I kinda wish I passed that on to my teenagers...sibling rivalry X 100 doh rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Red:

The sibling rivalry in my family was very prominent, badly so, in my family of brothers and sister. One sister at age 86 still gets mouthy and her kids are just as blunt to the point I have just stayed away from them.

But my kids are the best. They love each other with lots of love and my G-kids are right there with lots of love. I am fortunate. So very rarely do I visit my siblings, what's left of them, and spend lots of time with my kids and G-kids!
Well that's awesome that you spend lots of time with your family! thumbs up ....here I'm playing referee every day so they don't hurt eachother. doh roll eyes rolling on the floor laughing
Hi red.wave

You aren't old because if you are then so am I. I think we are only a year or so apart in age. Besides for the past few years,and for the rest of my life I will only celebrate my 30 "faux" birthday. laugh
As my son says.....not old, youthfully challenged lol rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing ........I get it a lot though.....I've been told I look too young to be having kids....I get carded for buying smokes or alcoholic beverages (though I seldomly do)......Still hidin them wrinkles and grays....and oh yes, they are there grin blushing wave
Red you are blessed. I think I would fall to the floor and cry if I were to get carded. laugh
I look like my father soo much (maybe 90%) but I do act like my mother. I think the most important value that my parents passed onto me and my siblings included, is the value/love for family. That family is family no matter what and they are the ones who will always be there. They are my source of happiness and strength. And would be great to pass that value also to my children (If God willing) in the future.
What have your parents passed down, Mary? cheering wink wave
Shay thumbs up ....good to see the family values on this blog teddybear hug
Honesty. I may be many things,some not so great,but I am honest. If I have done something or feel something I wont lie about it. My mom also taught me not to be gullible and that just because someone tells me something does not mean it is true.

@ MaryR:

How's this one for a funny!

I used to get carded when I went into a bar for years. Now I get carded when I get on the bus as a "Senior Citizen". How's that one for a belly blaster!

When I get carded for the "Senior Citizen" thing I always manage to get a chuckle or two with the remark. I ask for a double discount because I am also a "Senor Citizen"!!!
