I'm so old!

Wow. I was put in my place yesterday! On Friday I walked over to the law firm where Loretta works. I went over to pick up the lunch she had made me. While waiting in the lobby, two of the firm's young office girls come out. I am standing there talking to Loretta, and I become aware that the two girls are standing behind me, staring at me.

So I turn around and look at them and smile. They start to giggle and run off the elevator, giggling the whole way. I asked Loretta "What the hell was that?". She explained that they are two young 18 year old interns. They had come out to the lobby to check me out because Loretta had mentioned me and they wanted to see what I looked like.

Yesterday Loretta told me what the told her when they came back upstairs. The said that I was ok, but "He is so old!" (I'm 42).

Loretta asked them how old they thought she was. "Oh, 24-25" they guessed. Nope. She is 41. The girls freaked out. "Oh my god. You are my mother's age!". The stared at Loretta in amazement. I don't know if they were amazed that she looks good for 41. Or that someone that old can have a male friend. It must boggle their minds!
