Gamer Princess's blog: "Just my thoughts. "

I'm not much of a girlie girl. I never have been. I hardly wear makeup, I hate shopping for clothes and giggling pisses me off usually. So tonight when I went to the store I was in my sweat shirt, sweat pants and had my hair up in a bun. Usual attire for me and the store.

Now some thing that MOST of you don't know about me is I'm a mom. I have a son about to be 20 and a daughter that's 17. Yeah I'm old enough to have kids that old. Yeah I know I don't look it. And yes I'm told that a lot. So when this young man walked past me and nodded and smiled I smiled back thinking he would be perfect for my daughter and chuckled to myself.

I get to the front of the store and he's actually a clerk there so he checks out my groceries and says, "Can I help you out with those ma'am?" I just stared at him. Huh? Who me?? Umm no I got it thanks. He smiled and nodded again and I was on my way.

Driving home I realized I LOOKED like someone's mom!! That was just too cool! It was awesome to me because for years I got the OMG no you're not that old line. But that kid realized I was someone's mother and he showed  me some grown up respect. Holy crap I reached ma'am status. Now a little of me died right there because I felt slightly stung at reaching such an age and a little of me was excited because I finally looked like I could be my own children's mother. Even their friends have always been like "That's YOUR mom??" Duh??

Moral of the story is.....I think I might be getting old LoL
