oh mother!
ask if i'm my brothers' mom, go ahead! if so much as the thought that i'm my siblings' mom occurs in your head, you're going down!!! the next person that asks me if i'm my brothers' mom, he/she's going down!!! down!!!!!!
my brothers and i were waiting online (on a very short line i might add) to ride steel force, a roller coaster at dorney park in pennsylvania (amusement park). and we were arranging ourselves so that we'd get on the same train (it seated two per row). and while we were doing that, these other ppl were trying to get themselves behind the right lines so they could go together too. and then i overheard the guy say "i can't go on that line! she wants to go on with her sons!" and i was like, uhh................. and then the girl (these ppl looked like they were in their mid 20s) asked me "you want to get on w/ your sons, right?" and i was like, "..........yeah i want to get on w/ them." then i told the guy to get in front of me b/c that way him and his friends could get on the same train and my bros and i could get on the same train. and he didn't understand so he yelled at the girl who was telling him to do it, "no, but she wants to go on w/ her sons!" and i replied, trying to contain my anger and amusement, "you mean my brothers? yeah, but if you cut me, it'll all work out." and he said, "oh. she wants to go on w/ her brothers. okay then."
now that's' not the first time i've been mistaken as a mother... sad. sometimes i wonder, does my image scream out "MOTHER!!!!!"????? i don't understand? i mean it's always flattering when ppl (especially guys... especially older guys!) think i'm older than i am. for example, when ppl think i'm a senior in high school (ppl have been saying that for a few years now...). i guess that's a compliment? and it's funny when i'm talking to older guys and when we finally get to which schools we go to, i say phillips exeter academy, and they think it's a college... wow... and i once asked this guy why he thought i was a senior (we're the same age) and he said, "well, i just thought that b/c you carry yourself like you're a senior." um? is that another compliment? i can't tell. but let's just say it is! hehe.
but then the whole mature thing is taken waaay too far when someone thinks i'm a mother. and this has happened too many times...
like the time when... some old lady at the supermarket thought i was married to my cousin who's nine years older than me and that we were the parents of my brothers (and sister?).... i guess i can see that, b/c my cousin is pretty short. and i guess we could be young parents... but this was a couple years ago...
like the time when... i was walking around downtown w/ my bros, sis, and dad. and some old lady walks up to me and asks, "are these all your children?" you should've seen my face. i gave her the are-you-out-of-your-mind-and-having-weird-old-lady-dillusions look. and then after giving her my death stare, she corrected herself and said, "oh! i'm sorry! i just thought that maybe your father married a really young woman, and... well... you're just a child yourself! oh i'm so sorry!" that's right lady! you had better be sorry!!! married to my dad? *sigh* what is wrong w/ this world. if only men stopped marrying girls that could be their granddaughters...
anyway, i guess that's what i get for looking older than i am. oh well. at least i can use it to my advantage when it comes to guys! hehe am i jk? maybe not.
love and peace all
