I was at a department store last week making a purchase.
As I stood at the cash to pay, the clerk looked at me briefly and asked, "Senior?"
I gawked at her. "WHAT!?"
"Today is senior's day for those 55 and over. If you're a senior you get an added discount."
I laughed, embarrassed and horrified at the same time. "I hope you don't really think I'm a senior...?"
"I don't know, but I have to ask."
"What if I would've said that I was a senior?"
"Well, you should be honest about it."
"No, I'm not a senior...just yet."
************************
I think I was entitled to that extra discount just for being asked the offensive question.
I do not look 55. I just turned 50. I do not look 50. People think I'm a good 10 years younger. I do not look 55.... DO I?
I'm not ready to have that kind of SENIORity just yet!
