Hello…
Good something to you…
So here I am on the threshold of my twilight years and I finally
get a compliment!
Every year that has gone by I have had to fight with
different people to assert my age. Whether it is my wife, my mother or my
daughter, there is always someone adding 1 or 2 extra years to the count. My
mother I can excuse, she’s at an age where things are forgotten constantly; but
to have my better half doubt my word, let alone my child!?... Seriously, they
are both not the best mathematicians out there but subtraction is a basic math
operation. Now I know my wife gets all this compliments on how young she looks and
how diligently she takes care of her dad[me], fer crying out loud she got
carded because they didn't believe she was over 18, and maybe she’s starting to
believe what she hears… as for my daughter, she is borderline failing maths so I don’t
really care how old she says I am; although one day a teacher told her that he
had seen her with her grandfather[me, again] and she had to correct him and let
him know it was her dad….
Today I got the surprised of my life when the meals on
wheels lady asked me if I had received the birthday card they had sent me, I
said yes and proceeded to give her thanks. She then added that it must be fun
being 35; I think I blushed and I told her that I was turning 46 to which she
added that it was still young. HA! So there you pathetic ex-Mexicans, 2014-1968
is 46! I am not turning 47 or 48; no I still got a couple of decades before I’m
old…. They should make math part of the Canadian citizenship exam….
Take care folks…
PS And yes, we are having a Mexican continental chow down this Saturday so yaaay....
