I had to step into my brick and mortar bank the other day during the sub zero weather to change my address and order more checks.
The young lady clerk, who knows me, and who is about 27 and I started a conversation about apartments and the lack of insulation that is driving my utility bills sky high. I rent and she made comment that her parents were in an apartment for awhile before they purchased their new home and they complained of the same thing. Sky high utilities at the apartment.
Then she made the comment....
Yes, my parents moved into one of those places where they bought a house....you know, the ones where the old people go.
I nearly dropped my drawers.
BBBBBRRRRRRAAAAAA HAAAAAAHAAAAAA!
I am still laughing about it.
Oh, out of the mouth of babes!
I am 62 and I am sure that her parents are about my age...or maybe not. Who knows!
Am I the only one who doesn't find this funny or entertaining or cute? I was born to an older mother, whose friends and sisters were older as well, my 2 sisters as well as my cousins were all older, so I was mature for my age when I was young and always was "older" in my thoughts and attitudes. I never liked males my own age as they were so immature. I was "older" even as a teenager.
At 27 I was with my husband for a decade, had a 5 year old, a house, a job, all the trappings of adulthood. I find her comment immature and thoughtless. But given her age/generation, I am not surprised.
I remember getting an xray and the young thing said, "Oh, your hands look just like my mother's."
Gee, thanks. I'm sure she didn't mean that my nails were manicured because they weren't. She meant a few of my fingers were bent from arthritis.
Anyone got a good come back?
(I almost want to say, "Yep, they got that way from slapping stupid faces like yours!)
