I can't look that old!!
 

A friend sent this to me today...too funny.


HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND
THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD? WELL . . . YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.


MY NAME IS ALICE , AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY
FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.


I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.
SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME
HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO.


COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK
THEN?


UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.


THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO
OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.


AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN
PARK HIGH SCHOOL .


'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.


WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.


HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?'


YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED.


HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.



THEN, THAT UGLY,



OLD,



BALD,




WRINKLED FACED,




FAT-A**ED,

GRAY-HAIRED,




DECREPIT



SON-OF-A-BEEP




ASKED,




'WHAT DID YOU TEACH???'

:sidesplt::sidesplt: Reality check at it's meanest. Once at the grocery store, one of the people from the produce department saw me and asked if my husband was with me today. "Husband? I'm sorry I'm not married." His response, "Oh, then who is the gentlemen that comes with you every week?"
I exclaimed, "That's MY DAD!" I gave him a dirty look and promptly left. Then I thought, "how old does he think I am?" My dad is 53, and I'm 24. Let's just say I didn't feel very flattered that day.

:lol tears:lol tears

Maybe I'm a couger.............I frequently visit a great wine store in town....not because they have an amazingly young handsome crew but for the wine selection. It was a few days before my 40th and the new kid asked me for my ID.........so thrilled...yippie...I told him it was in the car. One of the other regulars shouted over..."dude....she's cool....she can be your Demi Moore" I left feeling :eek::):(

Funny....:p

All of this stuff is soooo funny!!! omg I turn 30 in a month and a half, and I'm starting to get these "jokes". Except that I look too young... my husband has salt and pepper hair, and sometimes they ask him he's MY dad. I try to flash my tiny engagement/wedding ring. lol

Hahaha! Funny. I'm almost 20 and now when I go out to eat with my dad, people sometimes think we're together... ha. We've gotten some funny looks sometimes and you can tell people are trying to figure out the relationship. My dad looks pretty young still (he's 46) and he acts young too, so I think it's what confuses people!

:lol tears That was so funny, I had to read it to my hubby. However, my hubby and I have the opposite problem. Both of us are 28 and we own our house. When people come to the door to sell us something, they always ask, "Are your parents home?" LOL. It's happened to both of us, several times, on different occasions.

A couple of years ago I went with my dad to see my bro when he graduated from basic training. I am 9 yrs older than my brother. One of his commanding officers told my brother it was nice his dad and mom could be there. HMMM!

On facebook a lot of my graduating class are my friends. I pulled my dtr over and asked if I looked as old as some of them did. Bless her heart, (I raised her right), she said of course not. Of course some look like they haven't aged much. Go class of 1982!

I'm 20 and my mom just turned 39 last month. Frequently people ask us if were sisters. I've even had people tell me I look older than her :eek: but at least I have good genes.

:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears

LOL! I worked at McD's in HS and first 2 yrs of college. I remember a manager coming to get me from the back saying, "Your bf is here." I go to the front and see my DAD! I was like, "Hey dad where's Josh?" They thought my dad was my bf. :eek: Oh, my dad loved it of course, looking young. He is also a younger looking guy. I used to remind him every time he was id-ed at a restaurant they have to do that, I don't even do it anymore because he gets such a high from it.:rolleyes:

Haha! I gotta share my story too. Back in 2002, my dad took me on a cruise for a celebration for my 2nd degree. He invited my older sis, but she insisted she would pay herself. Well the table we got sat at was with a bunch of strangers and they thought my sis was my dad's wife and I was the kid! Then once we got on port in Jamaica, the taxi driver asked my sis if my dad was her husband! :eek: She was soooo pissed off! And plus we're asian so we look really young!

Another time when I was in HS (I was 16), my dad was teaching me how to drive. He got me a 67 mustang (automatic thank goodness). I saw a classmate at a stoplight and said hi to her. The next day she asked me "who was that guy you were with yesterday?" I said, that was my dad! My dad is 37 yrs older than me!

LOL he does look young though, his gf is about 20 yrs younger than him!:D

Lucky! :) Do you still have it?

No:( I crashed it a year later, like all teenagers do. At least he didn't pay that much for it. It was a fixer upper, and I learned a lot about cars from it. :) Boy, do I NOT miss a v8 and 8 mpg!!! My dad still tries to spoil me, but I won't accept. :cool:

Pass on anything you don't want this way. :)

heh heh, you sure you want a brand new.... corolla? :D I love my dork car, but I won't accept one from him.

What a great year to graduate! Woo hoo, 1982!:)

I love reading these stories! Laughter is good for the soul! Thank you!:)

I got proofed also when I tried to buy cigarettes :p God, that made my day!:D
I will be 40 in June!

What a funny joke! I get mistaken for my age too..people always think i'm younger than i am..i'm almost 37. Hubby and I went to Las Vegas for a weekend trip...and while i went up to the room to nap he went to the bar to have a few drinks. I told him i would come down to meet him after i was done napping.....Well a couple hours later, i came downstairs. i had my hair in a ponytail and didnt have any makeup on. While i was sitting myself down at the barstool , the bartender came over and said "Honey, you cant sit at the bar if you're not 18." My husband busted out laughing. I said to the guy "you're kidding me, right"? He said "No, you're going to have to show me some I.D" When i handed him my I.D and he realized I was 32 at the time...he said "Wow, i was wayyy off" ...gee, ya think? :rolleyes: Hubby thought it would be funny to crack "little girl" jokes all weekend.

Oh gosh, it drives me CRAZY when I go to Las Vegas... I have to keep my ID handy at all times. People keep telling me that I will eventually like looking younger but I'm still waiting for that to happen. I wouldn't mind looking 23 but I'm not fond of looking younger than 18 because people treat me like I'm younger until they find out my actual age.

Oh my... where do the years go? I was always much younger looking than I really am.... so when I bought my own townhouse at 28 (after selling my first house I bought with my ex fiance at 25) the neighbors came to welcome me to the neighborhood and they all thought I moved in with my parents. Noone could believe that I bought the place on my own and lived there alone. I was "too young", I even got carded for scratch tickets until I was like 27 or so!

But now... I'm 33. Some people think that I don't look it, but most don't question it or seemed shocked anymore. :( soooo sad... :( I think once my skin clears up all the way and I drop 10 more lbs I'll look younger again. lol

Great story OP! I laughed my eye make up right off! My stomach hurts too! That is good stuff. Love the other stories too people. Keep them coming. My friend and I always laugh about seeing someone and then walking away saying "wow I look good!" Then I remember that 40 is approaching faster than I would like, I better be nice.:rolleyes:

Those are all great stories. I love getting the "those can't possibly be YOUR kids" when people see them or see pictures. Sometimes I have to tell them my age or else they think I had them when I was 13 or something. I'm about to be 38 and my oldest turned 16 Sunday and the youngest will be 14 in May. Yay for good genes! Hope it continues! We had our 20th HS reunion this past summer and let me tell you, my best friend and I definitely looked the youngest there. :D

I just had to send that to my friend. We have been friends since 7th grade. ....We graduated 30 yrs ago together. She will get a kick out of it.

I do find myself looking at people that I graduated with and saying,"boy did they get old". Then I stop and think, "hey what are they saying about me?"

You know what? I have earned every line on my face!!! They are staying there. I call them battle wounds. They made me who I am today. From all the sadness, to all the great happiness those lines are all mine and each one tells a story of where I've been.

Haha, that is so funny!

On a daily basis, people ask me if I am 10 or 12 years old. (I am 19)

My favorite is, "I didn't know it was Take your Daughter to Work Day! Where's your mom?"

:eek:

People always tell me that someday I will appreciate looking so young.
I am still waiting for that day..:rolleyes:

You still have a long ways to go...about 20+ years. I've always looked younger, when I was younger.:) In college, I would get carded at a movie theater, and my younger friends wouldn't.:rolleyes:
I would love to get carded again.:p
