Getting Old?


I am soon turning 28 years old which I still consider to be pretty young. However the other day at mutual some of the other leaders and I were talking with a couple of our Young Women and one of them says in the middle of her conversation about being really old "and when I'm like 35" (as she hunches over and slaps her knee like she might have seen her great grandma do at one point in her life) and carrys on with her story with no thought to who's company she was in. We all start busting up laughing before she gets to her punch line and she finally realizes that she had just declared "35" to be antient to a bunch of women at or near that point. I wish I had remembered the conversation but that however was all that stuck. It seriously sounded like she should've instered the age of 95 or 105 in there and the oldest possible number she could come up with was 35. And it's not like she's a little 12 year old Beehive, she's 17 for goodness sakes, she's not too far off herself! Maybe she's having a "midlife crises". Sad yet humerous.

I totally thought that picture was Alex! You are identical! That story is hilarious. 30 seems pretty young to us now, doesn't it?
