Life comes at you FAST!!!

Yesterday I spent the day with Lindsay. We organized our coupons. It was triple coupon days at Harris Teeter. I really like triple coupons. After we organized we we went shopping, ran errands and had a great lunch. We went to South 21, I mean really great lunch. As we were leaving a lady stopped us and asked Lindsay this.
Lady-"When is your baby due?"
Lindsay"Anyday now"
Lady-"Are you having a boy or a girl?"
Linday-" Two boys"
Lady'"Oh, that is wonderful"
Then the lady turns her head towards me and utters these words that rocked me to the core. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Do you have a tissue?
Lady-"Are you the grandmother?"
WHAT......Am I the GRANDMOTHER????
All could say was "No".. no other words could form in my head. Lindsay kindly explained that I was to be the boys aunt and we walked away.
I told Lindsay that I needed to go to the gym. I must be looking bad. We got into the car and went about our way. I shared this story with my mom. I think she about peed in her pants. We laughed so much she woke the sleeping dog and my dad. I called Marybeth today and shared the funny with her too. Only a friend could understand where you are coming from when you are feeling dissed by a stranger.
What else can I girl do but move on.
Madi and I went to the grocery store today. I ran into the dad of one of my best friends from school. We talked about my friend and how much fun we had growing up. He spoke to Madi and shared funny stories of my youth. As he was walking away he rested his hand on my arm and said these words" I will tell Susan I saw you and you look much older than the last time she saw you." ....WHAT...again....I am aging this much? Do you need to arrange for my room at the home.. Do I have one foot in the grave?....Seriously....Life comes at you fast!!!
I have laughed about these stories all day as I shared them with my family...as i ate a brownie...
