Age... it's just a number, right?

Bwahahahahahaha,

My doctors co-workers think I'm about ninety from my X-Rays. No one could have that muh damage and be younger they say. We always laugh at my doctors reply, which is I live an active life, and hate to be bored.

On the other hand I am always carded by the youngsters when I buy booze. (Often followed by a come on when my wife isn't present.) The older clerks don't say a thing, but they do seem to hurry me through the line if I forget to wear tinted glasses. Must be something about a short guy with a touch of salt in his goatee, and pure black irises which gets them nervous. (I can imagine their reaction if I wore my Halloween fangs to the store.)

When it comes to my patients, well, I make sure the heart patients are awake before I go into their rooms.

As far as I know no-one's ever taken LL for my daughter or me for her father (though since there's 19 years between us I'm old enough to be her father!), but we were out buying furniture a couple of months back & her mother was with us, & the guy at the store said something about "your wife", meaning LL's mother! She is only 6 years older than me (& looks younger than she is), but since LL & I were holding hands most of the time (we can't keep our hands off each other ), it should've been obvious which was my wife...

For me, yes, age is just a number.

About 8 years ago, I went to lunch with my mother at McDonald's. She had been getting the senior discount there for about 10 years already. (She just turned 52, y'all) Right after she had been given the discount, the cashier looked at me, then back to my mother and asked her if I was her sister. I know I look older than my 32 years. I have always looked older, but... UGH!

Hey! I'm glad to see no one forgot about this thread, lol.
I am running way beyond late, so I don't have time to reply properly.

I'll be back this evening to comment!

This Christmas my wife and I went to the fabric store because she needed some items for a project she was working on. As we were leaving we saw a surger on sale and decided to get it while we had the extra money. As the cashier lady was checking us out, she looked at the surger and asked if it was a gift. I said, "Yeah, it's a Christmas gift." She looked over at my wife and said, "Well, I think it's to have a son who would buy something like this for his mom." I looked over at my wife and she about died. The lady behind us said, "How old do you think she is? He looks older than she does."

We had to explain to the cashier that we were married and that I was 22 and she was 21. The cashier was very embarrased.

I think that's about the farthest anyone has mistaken my wife's identity.
