HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY "I" CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD.
MY NAME IS ALICE, AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.
THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.

AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL. 'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE. WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED. HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?" YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED. HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.

Happy Friday, friends. For more funnies, go to Kim's at Homesteader's Heart!
Cracks me up!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I always think the OTHER ones look so old, which is EXACTLY what they are thinking of me!!
xo
I know where to go if I need to laugh. This was good! Laughing that my teeth almost fell out. (Oooopppss)...
ReplyDeleteI don't ask people about their ages. I'm afraid they'd guess mine and give me a much higher number. It's sad they don't see my heart. Only the outside. HEHEHE...Love and blessings to you sister.
Too funny......Sometimes I look in the mirror and say who is that woman?
ReplyDeleteYes. I can relate. Sometimes I'll see a picture of someone in the paper, and think - boy they must have had a hard life - look how old they look. And then read that they are my age.
ReplyDeleteOr see a picture of me and think it looks much older than I really look!
Oh that's funny! Ha! ha! Ha!
ReplyDeleteThe older I get the worse I get at determining age. Cause I always think that I can't look as old as someone who's as old as me. *sigh*
Have a great weekend.
Kim
LOL !!! The ending took me by surprise, ha ha ha....love it!
