I know someone in her late 40s who is lying her way into going to community theatre and art classes for the over 50s, but to quote my nephew, "It's OK to lie about being over 18 to get into a nightclub or served in a pub, but lying about your age to get into SAGA? That is totally SAD!"Digitalessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594604246460921921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432201290620111119.post-77433171778235774462012-04-12T17:52:52.693+00:002012-04-12T17:52:52.693+00:00right on sis what can I say?

Mwah.<br /><br /><b>Serenwen</b>, outright deceit can be a part of my repertoire and I do like that idea! Only thing is that I look a bit (how can I put it) well - <i>old</i> to be the mother of a car seat-age child. Yes, because the other day at the chemist the guy behind the counter told me to tick the box for over 60s (the cheek of it) - though he had the decency to blush when I told him I wasn't - it's the silvery locks. (Note to self: should really change that youthful, pixellated image of me here). <br /><br /><b>Montag</b>, I'm so pleased. But why would he?

If you ever want me to get hold of a child car seat for the back of your car, let me know.

How people can go through life (and chronic illness) believing this crap is beyond me.<br /><br />My other half will stand in queues for me but I have to say I always get dirty looks from people about 5 or 10 years older than me when I sit on a chair in the bank or wherever because no matter how ill I feel I always look 'well' and apparently I look younger than my chronological age (not that I can see it when I look in the mirror, mind you) so I'm expected to jump for people. And I don't. Or won't.Digitalessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594604246460921921noreply@blogger.com
