Are you her mom?

Woke up this morning and went over to my sister's..

She had an appt with  Dr.Carmen and I wanted to go along..

This Dr is one that I used to work for and have a lot of respect for.. she is just a very nice person all together...Dr Carmen was in with a group of Drs and went out on her own practice and I hadnt seen her in a few months and wanted to say Hi..

We got there early and another lady walked in...we started up a conversation about who had what surgeries and why etc...

Ya know general chit chat...Well there was an emergency and the Dr was delayed a little so we ended up setting and talking to this other lady for about an hour...

Really nice lady about my age...My sister mentioned something about being older and she ask my sisters age she said 41 and the lady looked shocked...

she said really I thought you were alot younger...

<People always think that about my sister...>

so we continue talking and my sister calls her work to tell them she will be a little late...

The lady looks at me and says are you her mom???

I start laughing and say no I'm her sister..I'm only 43..

Well, the blood drained out of that ladies face real quick..I know she felt like an idot

I said don't worry about it...

The lady got called back into the exam rooms and my sister said on my gosh did that hurt your feelings??...

you know its because I act more immature than you ...

I said naugh IT did caught me off guard but then I though it was funny.

my sister said its just your so mature acting people have always thought you were older you whole life.

I thought it was nice my sister was concerned about my feelings..

Late that evening I called my sister..

I said YA know I think I must need a need hair style or something...

She said WHY

I said because I got to thinking and that is the second time in the last 6 months someone has assumed I'm your mom...

She laughed and said when was the other time..

I said when you were going back to surgery and the guy said ok mom kiss your daughter so we can take her back to surgery..

My sister laughed and said I forgot about that...

I said yeah I had too...

So tomorrow I'm going to get my hair cut and highlighted back a little blonder... lol lol lol  

The being more mature part welllll that will just have to stay a part of me lol lol

I once asked a woman when her baby was due and she told me she had her baby 4 months prior.  Yep I felt stupid.  I saw your pic in the all about me section and you don't look old at all.  btw can I see your ID please, hee hee.

I have to assume that your sister looks incredibly young, because you definately don't look old, especially old enough to have a 41 year old daughter!!!
Maybe the lady was there to have her eyes tested ;o)

If you REALLY want to look younger, you have to stop cutting that hair!!!  Let it grow out!  I know, I know, the growing out stage sucks, I have been there, but it is worth it!  I had my hair short for a year or so after I had Bethany and I looked soooo much older and HATED it!  I am happy to hear that your sister was concerned about your feelings though.  My family would have teased me about it and been mean.  You definately have a wonderful sister!  :)
Hugs and love, Lisa

People do tend to relate Maturity to Age. But that's not a bad thing. Not at all.
I hope the "hair makeover" makes you feel younger. I'm sure you will look good either way:)

I would have decked whoever said that!  I can't stand the fact that I don't get carded for smokes no more, let alone being told I am older than I really am.
