Cruel Words from a Cute Kid



The day before Kevin's birthday, I was sitting at 5 Guys (the burger joint) with my niece Lorin.  She asked how old Kevin was going to be.  When I told her "44," she seemed surprised.

"Forty-four?  He's in his forties?  He's forty-three and going to be forty-four?"

I assured that yes this was true, and Lorin expressed that Kevin was old enough to be a Grandpa, if he was indeed the long-toothed age of 44.

Then, Lorin focused intently on me.

"And you look like a grandma," she declared, pointing toward the outer corner of my eyes.  "You have these wrinkles."

What can you do but laugh?  That Lancome eye cream must not be working. :-)

And we'll be working on tact...
For the record, you look nothing like a grandma.
