What he said.
I was showing photos of my 21st at work and one of my colleagues said, "Aw, your Grandad looks really good fun!" My Dad was 53 (and in good physical shape). Okay, if he'd had a kid at 16 and that kid had me at 16 it would be possible. But not really likely. |

You think that's bad? Back when I was 16 (16!), I was trying to calm down my hyperactive 11-year old brother in a supermarket checkout line. The cashier told him to "listen to your mother!"
We both just about died of embarrassment.

I admit, certain ethnic groups (such as Indian women - you did say that was your ethnicity, right?) are really difficult for me to judge ages. That is a compliment, BTW - they tend to age really well! Even though it worked the opposite way for you.
Wish I could say the same, humph. ![]() Reminds me -- when my daughter was a baby, I took her to the mall one day and this old lady came up to me and told me I ought to be ashamed of myself, I should find a sitter and go back to high school. :p I guess motherhood has aged me somewhat. |

In high school, I was on multiple occasions mistaken for my father's girlfriend. I was happy to be mistaken for older; he was horrified to be mistaken for a lecher.

Oh, this is fun.
At the 6 month checkup for my baby daughter, the pediatrician mentioned that my wife was "extremely pregnant." Not only wasn't she pregnant, but she was thin as a rail. Just wearing a baggy dress. We didn't say anything, but we found a new pediatrician. |

glatt, a ped with bad powers of observation certainly merits moving on.
My mom loves to tell a story about one of my first checkups. I was about one year old, sitting buck-naked on the exam table, and the very young pediatrician comes in, takes one look at me and says, "So, how old is your son?" He slunk away, mortified, when he was advised of his mistake.

I am extremely aggravated by gmail's lack of support for cellspacing and cellpadding attributes in HTML tables. Non-geek translation: it made a perfectly good email look like a piece of shit.
In other news, this is not exactly irritating and it's not exactly happy. But we don't have a "wonders if this is the stupidest thing he's ever done" thread. This afternoon, we started the paperwork for a mortgage to get cash to put that addition on the house. It's not a great time, but I can't see the interest rates going significantly lower. It'll be very interesting . . . . |

Last year I was asked if my friend, Craig was my son...he's 23. I'd have had to start bloody young given I'm 36. I thought, christ have I suddenly aged or something?
