I got a huge compliment yesterday. El Juevo (pictured above) and I were eating lunch at a restaurant yesterday and this little boy ran by us who had a squeaker in one shoe. It was precious, squeak stomp, squeak stomp, squeak stomp, so we were laughing and commenting on how cute he was. As his mother caught up with him, she realized what we were laughing about and started telling us about this lady giving her all kinds of clothes her child had outgrown (I guess I have one of those faces-people seem to open up to me very easily for some reason, and I'll never look a gift BFF in the mouth). Anyway, she sort of pauses and looks at Alex and me sitting there and asks "Do you two have kids?" I BARKED out a laugh and told her he is my youngest kid which flustered the snot out of her, but I let her know in no uncertain terms that I love her long time. Juevo was not quite as amused, as he just focused on the squick factor of he and his mother having kids. I wish I'd gotten her address-I'd have baked her a cake!

Loved reading your answers. I got quite a few stink eye glances from 'Little Miss Grumpy' while having my giggle fits.
Oh, and I've been mistaken for Mini Man's girlfriend before too. He was horrified! HA!
I can't believe you didn't tell me it was your birthday. And that we're almost twins.
Great, funny answers. Glad I ran across you!
I love how you named a drug of the seventies instead of *smoking*.
Freaky Poptart-I enjoyed yours, too! You now have a follower.
Braja-Just another trip around the sun-I'm more well traveled now. *wink*
NurseExec-Glad you stopped in. Hope to see you again!
Rassles-I considered myself very self controlled by sticking to naming just ONE. Those were the days. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. *sigh*
*smooches*
You're a kick. How hilarious that someone asked you and your son if you had children. What a compliment. Once my Dad and I were walking and he had his arm around me and my Mom was walking about 50 paces back and she overheard some women say in disgust, "That man is old enough to be her father!"
oh, and the baby photo is FREAKing me out!
Happy belated birthday! But I gotta say, I'm with your son. Someone once asked my uncle if I was his wife and dude! That is so mean!
Oh, my but we have some things in common.
Happy Birthday!
Pearl
Strange Pilgrim-the pic makes me do a double take every time I look at it!
gnomespeak-Thankee kindly, Ma'am! And yes, he's wounded. I, on the other hand, am going to give my beautician a nice tip!
Pearl-Aye, but we knew that already, eh? And thanks!
*smooches*
