When we were at the grocery store last week, the bag boy noticed my husband’s conference championship ring.
Bag Boy: "Wow. That’s cool!"
Prince: "It’s from the last time we won the conference championship."
BB: "Man. I don’t even remember when that was."
Prince: "It was back in 1991."
BB: "Oh, yeah...I wasn’t born yet."
Cashier chimes in: "Me neither."
What I said: "Oh, you young kids are making me feel old."
What I meant to say: "Listen here you pimply faced hormonal mall rats...shut it before I call your mom and get your curfew changed to 9:00 pm."

When I went to the doctor for a UTI general check up, the nurse took my pulse and said,
Nurse: “Wow. Are you an athlete or something?”
Me: *insert puzzled look* “Ummm...no. But I married one and I had lunch with LL Buff Chick last week. Why?”
Nurse: “Your pulse is very strong.”
What I said: “Oh really? Hmm. Ok...great.”
What I meant to say: “Really? You asked me if I was an ATHLETE?! Weren’t you the one who just took my weight today right after VALENTINES weekend? Is it opposite day? Is this Candid Camera? (Do you youngins even know what that is?) I love you so much! Will you marry me?” *kissy kissy*
Oh wait...that marriage proposal was totally inappropriate. But she has no idea how happy that made me considering the “milestone” birthday I will be avoiding in a few weeks and the Jack and Jill grocery duo who felt it necessary to snicker about not being born when we were in college.
Ok, you guys know the drill. Tell us what YOU meant to say and then link up. Go visit some of the other linker uppers too.

I was 10 in 1991, if that makes you feel any better...
general check up uh?
Maybe those drapes needed to be hemmed a little sooner, huh?
At least u know ur heart is beating strong for the summer 'lympics
Kids...I would have went with it and actually said it, would have been good shock therapy.
Hmmm so you have a strong pulse, I'd run with that and not question it. I have no idea what it means, but I'm thinking you're a superhero of sorts right now...
Man, there are workers not born till after 91?? I feel old now too.
Sounds like those young 'uns needed a good ole' fashion wuppin'!
I think the 'strong pulse' comment was a total come-on!
I was already 23 yo in 1991 - ha! That "are you an athlete" is a new come on line I've never heard before - I think she was totally sizing you up! HA! Have a great day! :o)
"Is it opposite day?" <----- LMAO!! That is hilarious.
Thanks for the laugh.
They weren't born yet? Yikes.
I look at some of these kids and get scared that they are old enough to drive. They look like babies!
Evil bag boy. That sounds like something my daughter would tell me. The brat.
On the drive to school today, she made a comment about being so tired. I said, "Just wait till you're 30!" She smarted off, "OH, GAWD! MY FACE!!!!" (she's grounded, now) hehe
FYI, I was 15 in '91. ;)
...I don't know...you give off that athlete vibe. I am TOTALLY avoiding the doctor for about 6 years after my vacation. No weighing in for me!!
You should go back and show your athletic skills out on the bag boy and cashier! Stupid teenagers
LOL i think cashiers and bag boys should be trained on appropriate conversation at the register lol
Stopping by from Kmama's and I am dying over the comment you left over at her place. You are a hoot!!
I need to find a doctors office like yours and I would totally marry that nurse! ;)
I graduated from High school in 1991. Gah--my 20 year reunion is next year--LALALA(fingers in the ears)I'm not listening, I'm not that old, no way not me--LALALA.
Is it opposites day she says . . . buah ha ha! :) And yes, I do remember Candid Camera! Cause I'm an old fart.
Dayum Adolescents!! You should of took them both over your knee and spanked them with the Prince's Championship ring!
You should have kicked there asses Princess. I would have never said anything like to anyone. It is just rude!
Shit...I was 24 in '91...that sucks!
Did you tell that nurse you don't have to be an athlete to have a strong pulse??? You're a princess for God's sake!!
My doctor tries to make me feel good about my self no matter what when I come in for a visit. Like if I failed to accomplish something, she will say, "Sweetie, look I am a single mom of two teenage girls. I know how hard it is to keep up with a "woman's schedule".... I'm not got place blame on you one little bit."
A few of the nurses try just as hard to make you feel good.
Just remember, those pimply faced mall rats will one day be our current age, and that next generations will be making snide remarks in their favor. Full circle
Getting old sucks huh?!
I dont think the marriage proposal is inappropriate at all. Whenever someone tells me I look young I just about kiss them!
You should have just bended those young punks over your knee, Grandma.
