My wife looked at my rapidly graying hair last night and told me that I'm sure looking old. How is that for a confidence booster?
I lost at Candyland to a 3 year old yesterday.
Later, an old lady yelled at me at Kroger. Really. I walked in the front doors to the little " lobby" or vestibule area where they keep carts, small displays, gum machines, and the like. There was an abandoned cart sitting here that someone had left as they exited the store. I started to push it in the doors when an old lady grabbed me from behind and shouted that was her cart. Ok. I bit my tongue and walked two feet to where the carts were pushed together and grabbed another one. It is bad enough she freaked out, but she actually...touched me. I'm getting old. A decade ago if someone grabbed me from behind, I would have turned with a flying elbow and asked questions later. I'm glad I didn't take out a seventy year old lady over a shopping cart. I'm shocked anyone would grab you because you touched the cart they wanted.
I did have beef and noodles with mashed spuds for supper. That is my favorite meal, so the day wasn't a total loss.
Did I mention I lost at Candyland to a three year old? Sigh.

Well you could always reply to her that those pants don't make her butt look too big. I hear hospital food is not bad.

Things are changing! A few years ago, an old lady would not try to knock me down getting out of the store, but it happened. No, anyone touching me is in trouble. But, I am a 71-yr-old lady who does not want people touching me unbidden. You lost at Candyland. You were being sweet to that kid.
