OMG....ROTFL....bet that one opened your eyes wide:eek::D

I just got my haircut yesterday. My 19 yr old daughter comes home from work and all in one breath she says,"I like your haircut...why is it so short?" :rolleyes:

This happened to my mom but it was hilarious and the first thing I thought of when I read this thread.

My cousin's little girl (my mom's sister's grandbaby--say that 3 times fast) was about 4 at the time. Several of my family members were sitting out by their pool, including my mom. The kids were swimming but most of the adults were sitting in chairs drinking cocktails and talking. So the little girl goes up to my mom and asks her to get in the pool with her. My mom tells her, "Sweetie I will get in the pool with you as soon as I finish my drink." At that point the little girl leaned in and put her hand on my moms thigh and whispered really loudly, "it's ok Mrs. Dianna, don't feel bad, I have big legs too!" I think I just about died laughing on that one.

The same little girl also was out to eat with her mom and a friend of her mom's who is the same age. All of a sudden she looks up at her moms friend and says, "guess what? My mom is prettier than you!"

LOL you gotta love kids...I have been a nanny for many many years and had 4 years of Elementary Education courses and internships in college too, worked in daycares, etc...I bet I have some other good ones, I'll have to think on it but I think some of the funniest things I've ever heard have come from the mouth of a 3 or 4 year old!

:sidesplt: I'm so glad you revived this thread.

lol that is just too darn cute!!

People (those that I personally know and random people) are constantly telling me I look 15. I'm 23. I think if I hear it again, I might slap someone. Do they think I don't already know that I look young? Do they think I need to be reminded every time I go to pay for some merchandise at the grocery store? I guess they see the annoyed look on my face and they'll say "You'll appreciate it when you're 45." Twice someone mentioned that I looked like my husband's daughter - once after they already knew I wasn't! We were paying a bill that was apparently in my name and at first hubby went to step up to sign for it, then said "Oh it's in your name" so I stepped up and the lady says "Oh! I thought you were his daughter!" REALLY?!

I used to get the huge eye thing all the time too. I was always told I had bug eyes. Or I had a friend that would call me "mouse" because of my big eyes and would say that I was "cute like a little mouse". Then there were all the friends that would call me "elf" or "midget" or "shortie" constantly because I'm 5'1".

A couple years ago I was taking a medicine that made me gain about 20-25 lbs and there was a coworker that would constantly ask me if I was pregnant. That got old very quickly.

My nephew asked my dad a couple weeks ago if he got stained too. What he meant to ask was if my dad had gotten a tan. lol. Same nephew also calls cutting weeds, whipper snipping. LOL. He's so cute. I just wanted to share, because every time I remember I laugh.

Once when me, my older sis and my dad went on a cruise, our table mates thought my dad was married to my sis and I was the kid. :eek: I'm only 6 years younger than my sis. Boy was she mad after that! btw I was 22 at the time, my sis 28, and my dad 59!

Your poor sister, lol!

I must be finally showing some age because up until a year ago, everyone I would meet would ask if I was in school. Yes I was in school, nearly 2 decades ago. :rolleyes:

So this wasn't really 'offensice' per se, but kind of weird to say to someone!

I'm doing a theater camp at a local regional theater this summer, and we finally got our parts for the musical the other day. We were all expecting this one girl to get the lead part, and I got it instead. This kid chris said to me, "no offense, cause I know you'll be good at it. But that was the LAST thing I was expecting!"

I totally know where he was comikng from and how he meant it, so it didn't bother me. But I just thought it could have been worded a little better! LOL

I get that all the time too. I still get carded at the movies lol...and when I buy an alcoholic drink at a restaurant or a bottle of wine at the grocery store they always stare at my ID for an eternity. I used to hate it but I suppose I'll appreciate it in 10 years. :rolleyes:

This is a great thread :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:


I am 45 and it sure feels good now. :D I still get carded sometimes when purchasing alcohol~which of course I have to always tell my husband about. Usually I tell the cashier they are going to get a great big thank you smooch from me. Love it when I am asked how old my children are and say my oldest is going on 24 yr old and get a :eek: NO WAY! I thought you were in your early 30's. I'm positive they are just lying to me to make me have a big head. :p

I've been married for almost 25 yrs and my MIL always called me JoAnn. :rolleyes: It use to make me angry until all of the SIL were together and we realized that she called us all JoAnn. Our names are Jodi, Caryn and Sarah not a JoAnn anywhere but we all answer her now. LOL

I've got a bunch more too. I'll have to share a little at a time~pretty much how I live my life. Full of craziness!

awesome thread.
I get the age thing all the time. I'm 38, but look more like 25.
I will have to think about some of the ones I have heard, because there are quite a few. (just can't think of them off the top of my head.)

My weirdest compliment was when a Turk bid 7 camels and 15 goats for me... seriously...
My most embarrassing one was when we had some friends over to help us get ready for our move. My dh brags about me all the time (which is embarrassing in itself) but back then he had a few beers and when he took our wedding picture off the wall he showed it to our friends and said: "That's what America does to women!" (I'm German) Imagine the picture showed me 8 years and 30 lbs ago and I was wearing make-up and a nice dress and there I was sitting in old sweats with a bandanna and tired to the bones...
