Do I really look THAT old?

24 Jun 2006

Now I know that I am an older dad (the twins are 13 months old and I am 43 next week - Wednesday to be precise ladies, my Inbox has plenty of space! innocent

) and I have been bald since my mid-twenties (like this :shock smile

. However, I took the twins out for a walk today. Over an hour of tough uphill walking pushing a buggy with two toddlers in it is hard work and I was quite pleased with my level of fitness. I set off on the downward return journey - sooooo much easier.
We got to a field with young cattle in it (last year's crop I would guess - where is artificer when you need him?) and there was an elderly gentleman with a white scottie dog leaning on the gate. I wheeled the buggy up to the gate so that the twins could get a decent look at the heifers. The conversation went as follows:
Gentleman: "Just watching the world go by."
Will: "Indeed."
We watch the cows.
Gentleman looks at twins and then looks at Will. Looks at twins. Looks at Will.
"I bring my grandkids up here too."
"I'm sorry?"
"I said, I bring my grandkids up here too."
mad

:x

:sparring: :taz:
If you see reports of the bloodstained, bludgeoned body of an elderly man found by a remote Shropshire roadside being guarded by a pining white scottie dog.....it's nothing to do with me! :whistling:
Will - off for a G&T as I do NOT drink Horlicks!! :evil:

FB now thinking of something to do, to make Will feel young again
You don't look that old honey kiss

I know how you feel hunni :giggle:
I bumped into an old schoolfriend a couple of years ago, someone I haven't seen since leaving school. 'You haven't changed a bit' he said, which I took to mean either I'm looking damn good for my age or I looked in my 40s even as a teenager confused

Sassy looks for Cosmetic Surgeons in the phone book

I don't think the gentleman meant anything by his comment. He did not mean to imply you look old. He just made a statement that he brings his grandkids there as kids find the place entertaining. Still it is best you put a pic on your profile so we can be the better judges of whether you look old or not. Or better even, let us give you the road test... :evil2:

Heifers is like chick, a term of abuse if used to reduce a person. In this context it is used correctly. Always supposing that the cattle where heifers.

Errrrm are those two questions related?? wink

The answer to the first is 'Don't know' 'cos he hasn't responded to me PM yet!

I'm just 42, not bad looking and could lie that im in my 30's and be believed
...I'm also a grandmother to two babies, and got 2 more on the way.....
You don't have to be old to be a grandparent Will !!!!!
Although when I take the babies out, ppl think I'm their mum, so perhaps u do look old pmsl
