Your As Old As You Feel

The old saying goes you are as old as you feel and I must say, I don't feel even close to 37. Maybe 30, but not 37. Well reality hit me the other night at Moe's on Wolf Road in Colonie.

I was checking out my food and there was lady behind me in line (I'll say around 60). Well the girl who was checking my food out at the register was also training another girl how to run the register. So I hear her say to the trainee, If the person looks even close to 21, make sure you proof them. She didn't proof me and I had a beer on my tray so I turned to the 60 year old behind me and said rather loud, I guess I don't look close anymore. The 60 year old lady laughed and the girl at the register laughed too and said "Did I ruin your day?" I laughed and said to her it was no big deal because I hadn't been proofed in awhile and I'll be 38 in June, so I don't expect it and was just kidding.

Then the next words the girl behind the register said to me was reality hitting me in the head with a 2X4. The girl said, well my father is 38 too and he never gets proofed either. The 60 year old starting laughing very hard, and I was speechless...Yes, I was speechless.

Now she could have been pulling my leg, but in NY you have to be 18 to sell beer and I'm thinking she was 20. So her father was 18 or 19 when she was born...possible. As the 60 year old continued laughing, the girl finally said...OK, I really ruined your day, I'm going to shut up now. I told her, have a nice night and walked back to the table where Chris & the girls were waiting.

In case your wondering, I still feel 30.
