Although at 33 I am not considered old by most, today my 8 year old made me feel it............


We were at the gas station and she says "Mom, That guy is putting gas in his trunk, he's stealing"

What she saw was an older model car, where the gas tank is under the license plate......


Poor kid, hadnt a clue!rolling on the floor laughing

You guys are cracking me up!! I'm the oldest one on this forum (besides Kitten). I remember having to dial phone numbers on a "party line." You'd pick up the phone and if you heard someone talking, you had to hang up and keep checking until THEY finished their phone call. Ha! NOW who's old??? rolling on the floor laughing We were the first family in our neighborbood to GET a TV!! I was about 10!

Shoot....oldy smoldy!! My picture is in the dictionary next to the word "OLD."
