…..while sitting in a doctor’s office. Actually I was sitting in the hallway at the doctor’s office. Waiting to have my eyeballs scanned by the doctor. One of the staff was hanging out with me because I was asking questions and we entered in to a conversation about…. Doesn’t matter.
What happened was…. While talking I said “you’re probably too young to know about this”.
I dropped my head.
Looked back up at her and said “that is the first time in my life I’ve said that”. She laughed.
I aged one hundred years with eight words.
Damn. It.

“Look at that sweet, little young Colleen,” says the 80 year old to the 95 year old triplets! Did you see the Kirchner women who are identical triplets? You are so amazingly young. . . Hugs ♡
I loved the aged look to the edges of this. I have been saying that expression for years, by the way. . . Must mean I am older! 🙂
I did not see the triplets. I’ll have to look them up.
ANd thanks for seeing my young-ness! 😉 Maybe you aren’t older, but wiser. 😉
I will embrace getting older and wiser if and when I make it to these goals! Thanks and happy to get you smiling, Colleen. Mom is doing pull ups on an over the bed gymnasium. They are convinced her upper body strength is necessary. It will help “save her” once she falls and maybe help her coordination. Funny though, she complains About therapy but rarely complains To therapists. 🙂 Artist brother gets annoyed. I just laugh and figure we may someday be “in her shoes.”
In my job I have learned to try and appreciate what others are going through because it “could” be me one day!
And go Robin’s Mom!!!! Work it out!!!
Ha! I felt that way recently when I was discussing the “younger generations” behavior. (aka my neighbour)
Hahahahahahahahaha! YOU are too young to be saying THAT!
I am?
Yes. Believe it. And you are.
One day might be the first Colleen 😉
It was the first yesterday. Sigh.
Quite some time ago I spoke to a girl who had no idea who Liza Minelli was… instant aging.
Oh. I usually just stare at someone like that. Because not knowing SOME people or some world events is like…..shame on THEM. 😉 (Just trying to give you a way to re-own your youth).
I like that!
Ha! I’ve done that, just recently in fact.
Erg. Not a fun moment. I actually stared at this girl and told her I couldn’t believe I just said that. Which made her laugh.
That is so funny. Isn’t it awful when we age ourselves? That should be on the unwritten list of no-no’s.
I think you’re right. THere should be a list. Let’s make it.
It’s when the doctor is young enough to be your son… 😉
🙂 So far I am lucky. My doctor is OLDER than me and has 2 kids to put through college. 😉
I think the last one I saw was younger than my sons 😉
No………… ! 😉
Terrible….sighs… X
I think we all been there …. with words that we would liked unsaid. And you were probably right. *smile .. not end of the world, neither for the doctor or you. *smile
😉 I’m glad I laughed about it Viveka. 😉
hahhahahahaha –
😉
😀 it does seem that people are younger and younger these days.
Yeah, how did THAT happen???
…dunno
Call her back and tell her, “On second thought, you probably are old enough…” and watch that cane disappear. So true. We had a neighbor a few years back who saw our phone on the wall and asked, “What’s that?” She probably thought the Beatles were bugs. Life is interesting, and funny. 🙂
If life isn’t interesting and funny, we’re doing it wrong! 🙂
One of these days these younger folks are going to say, “You’re probably to old to know about this.” (Speaking more about technology). LOL!
I’m sure they will Priceless. But I’ll be ahead of the game. I will know, or lie about it! 😉
Hahaha!
lol! I know it isn’t really funny, but it is because I’ve heard those words come out of my mouth once or twice in the past few years. Funny how words can age us so quickly.
Oh it’s funny Robin…. 😉 and I’m okay with it because I am NOT old or even ‘older’. I’m just naive and that supports my youthfulness. 🙂
Oh dear…I think I have done that before already! 😀
You are WAY too young to say this!
I was laughing when you hung your head Colleen and almost spit out my coffee when I read you aged 100 years with 8 words! ❤
Diana xo
😉 Thank you Diana. It doesn’t take much does it? ❤
I know the feeling hahahaha!
Yeah…….I vote we do away with doing this to ourselves. 😉
That is funny…but I am there with you as I have been saying that quite a bit already…and only in week 2. You are not so much old as you are circumspect that others may not be aware of the same experiences…yeah, I will walk with you on this one, cane and all, so long as there are spiffy or retro hats, love an excuse for hats. 🙂
Yes, that’s it! It’s because people are unaware. THAT is what I’m going with from now on. I like it! Thank you!!!!
And thanks for walking with me. I have a spiffy Irish Cap to wear on our jaunts.
Irish caps are so cool. Love them! 🙂
I know!!!! They are the best!
Love your “photo,” Colleen. You still look “spry for your age.” LOL! I work with university students…it’s very hard NOT to say that every single day. 🙂
😉 why thank you Debra! and try hard not to say it. I don’t think it’s that we are older, it’s that they are not well learned!!!! 😉
Do you realize how old you made me feel by declaring this is the first time you’ve ever said something I’ve had to tell people for years, MBC? 😉 You are so dang young. ❤ Great BlogHead drawing here.
🙂 Ha! Well, it’s probably because in my head “I” still don’t know most things made reference to in my presence so I think I’m still young. Works for me MBM! 🙂 (Sometimes I believe I grew up and existed in a bubble!)
We need each other as reference points, my bubble girl. 😉
😀 Works for me MBM!
