So part of my job is to help clean before we close. One of the things I clean is the soda fridge, which has three sliding glass doors that always have TEN BILLION fingerprints on them, and they are usually about an inch away from the handle. Really people. Move the extra one inch to grab the handle. I promise it won't kill you. Ha ha. No, actually those doors don't open easily at all, so I'm not at all upset about the handprints.
But the reason I'm telling everyone this mundane fact.
I was cleaning it last night, and there was a customer behind me waiting for takeout. I felt like the silence was uncomfortable, so I said in a light manner, "You know, it doesn't matter how hard I scrub out here, I'll never get the inside of the glass clean, and if I can't reach the inside glass, so it always looks dirty." STUPID? I KNOW. I really don't understand why I open my mouth sometimes.
Anyway, the guy is really friendly, so he says a few sentences that I've forgotten by now, but his last sentence was "Looks good to me, kid."
Hmph.
I had a fun conversation with him. But I wonder how old he thinks I am. People seem to think I'm in high school or I'm 25. Go figure. I think my left side is youthful and my right side is aging. Dunno. Can't explain it.

well humphrey bogart used the term "kid" on a grown woman so maybe it doesn't mean that he thought you were an adolescent.
weird. since that other guy thought you went to ogden high? i don't get it. you look your age to me. and you ARE my kid. consider yourself lucky. when you're my age, you'll look...oh...38! :)
I think we have the same problem. I get hit on by middle-schoolers, and the faculty all think I'm 14 as well. I'm seriously excited for the day that someone guesses my age and gets it in the 20's. I know it will be great to be thought younger when I'm older, but right now, I would like to be thought of as a NON-ADOLESCENT. Haha!
