So today my mom and sister Jessica came to visit me. Now, in case you didn't know, Jessica is only 13 months younger than I am and quite frankly has spent alot of time in a tanning bed. I took them to the normal places they like to visit, the bread store, Dazzle, Sonic etc and this time I also took them to the mustard museum. I've already been there so it didn't quite hold the wonder for me this time as it does the first time you go. I was standing by a rack of mustard near the door waiting for them to complete their purchases when this 50ish woman approached me and asked if the girl in the pink ( Jessica) was my, wait for it, DAUGHTER!! I immediately said no and probably in an abrupt fashion looking back on it. She said well she kind of looks like you. And you assume she is my daughter???????
So reeling from this blow, I then made the mistake of telling my mother and sister about this horrible stranger interaction and of course, my sister had a field day with it for the rest of the visit calling me mom at every possible interval. For the record, her 34th birthday is tomorrow.
I was sitting home later and I was so pissed that I didn't have a wittier reply for that lady. I'm ready for next time though and am now armed with , "no, she's my older sister"
But isn't that how it always works, the best witty reply is always a couple hours too late.
