We were drawing our letters in Typography today when one guy started doing the Budweiser frog sounds and some other joined in and we all started laughing. Someone asked how old that was and one guy said, "Oh it came out in like, 2000." I, of course, knew better, so I jumped in and opened my big mouth and said, "No, it was in a Super Bowl commercial in the early 90's because I remember I was still stationed in Fort Walton Beach. Everyone was talking about it at work the next day. I think it was, maybe '95 or '96." Everyone looked at me with wrinkled brows. I could see them trying to do the math in their heads. So finally someone asked, "You remember? How old are you?" I just smiled and said, "Older than you." They kept guessing, "I thought you were, like, 27 or 29." or, "Maybe you're in your early 30's at the most?" Finally one girl asked to see my drivers license and when she was done calculating the numbers she said "Nuh-uh, there's no way." I said, "Yes way!" That's when everyone else asked her "What does it say?" and she told them "She's 40." I just smiled and shrugged. I mean, I think I look my age. When I look in the mirror I see the sagging skin and bags under my eyes and the wrinkles there. I don't know why nobody else can. I'll take it though.
I wish I knew what my secret was, I'd sell it and be a millionaire! Alas, my friend Cathy looks younger still since she can pass for a teenager!

Hey Vicki! The same thing happened to me when I was 45. I was working in a factory and some co-workers wanted to know my age. Couldn't believe it. Isn't it a GREAT feeling!!!
HAHAHA!!! The Anti-Robot password is ROMPME!
I remember doing the exact same thing as ur classmates after we first met. No possible way u could be over 30 much less 40!!!! If u could bottle ur youthful spirit, i would be ur biggest customer. No one else i know can tell their mom that they are listening to records and doing homework at the age of forty! Priceless!!!!!!!! U should be contagious. Lol
