One of my facebook "friends" asked me today if the baby my son was holding in a picture was my grandchild. Umm, no, it is my niece and by the way, go fuck yourself.
Well, that just struck me in the ole ego as much as being invited to a ménage à trois and finding no one else showed up.
I find little consolation in the fact that she hasn't seen me in more than 20 years and technically my son is old enough to have fathered a little bastard. I am not ready to be looked upon as a grandma.
I was on a high for a few weeks when the "Guess Your Age" guy at my local county fair had me 10 years younger than I am. This after guessing the woman in front of me two years older than she actually was. I guess she didn't get the memo that the Florida sun will give your wrinkles wrinkles.
But all that went down the drain with that one question.
Is that your grandchild?
I was actually shocked when I read that some of my kewl kids are already grandparents. I would have never guessed it. Libby was recently so blessed, Tammy is expecting her first and I was surprised to see Kay is old enough to have grandbabies. If I didn't mention you and you are indeed a nana or pop pop
I have solved this ego problem by doing what any other normal person would do. I defriended the bitch and took that damn picture of my son and my niece out of my photo album.
Excuse me, I must go now and photo shop my new facebook profile picture.
Since it is Friday, my link of the week will be photoshop disasters. I can't do any worse than those!
Have a great weekend kiddos.

Have a great weekend Christine... I have it on good authority that you are in the Milf category not the Gilf category...
I just kind of had to spin doctor it. Instead of hating I am old enough to be a grandma I just feign surprise when they say "WHAT? You don't look OLD ENOUGH to be a Grandma!"
Yeah it's got it's perks.
:)
I have a grandson !
I have two of'em. Best things ever.
Wow. Can't say I blamr you for freaking out a bit. Better tell taht son of yours to wear a condom! ;)
christine...re:doc's comment...oh, God, there could always be a ggilf category.....!
Nice commentary. lmao
Since my husband is 12 years older than I am, and since we didn't have our son until I was 37, people often assumed he was our grandson. Of course, this only happened when my son and I were out with my husband. It happened even more when my husband and son were out alone.
It drove me crazy! Then one day I realized that:
My husband had two grown-up children from his first marraige and
not only could we have grandhcildren, we do. We have 5 grandchildren ranging in age from 14 years old to 4 months old.
In fact, the oldest grandchild is ten months OLDER than our son. So what are we complaining about?
Since I AM 12 years younger than my husband, it means that most people look at me and say, "You're too young to be a grandmother."
