I recently visited my daughter in Kentucky. We went to one of our favorite stores and as she was checking out, I was waiting near the front door with her 4 year-old daughter. All of a sudden "L" blurted out quite loudly, "Grandma, you're old". I proceeded to ignore her since I was really embarrassed. Then she said, "Grandma, you look old." I was horrified! Then again, "Grandma, you're old". I was shocked into silence. My mouth was frozen shut. I wanted to run somewhere and hide.
In retrospect, I realize I should have immediately said something clever like, "Of course I'm old, I'm a grandma" or "Yes, I'm old and you're young". But one thing I've learned is NEVER ignore your Grandchildren...
