This Isn't What I Signed Up For!

Ok, we all know that as we age things change. Our bodies fall victim to gravity, the hair starts to thin and so many other things happen. When I was a preteen running around junior high (Yeah it was called junior high back then NOT middle school so shut up!! lol) I never thought that one day I would be considered…..dare I even say it…..MIDDLE AGED! UGH!!!

One day, my mother and I were in the midst of extreme errrand running. Oh its a sport my friend..trust me. I parked my car at our first stop of the day and reached up above my head to pull down the sun visor and gave myself a once over to make sure I looked presentable before getting out of the car. As I looked I noticed something I wasn't too happy about. I moved in closer to get a better look. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I had…oh goodness…I had BAGS under my eyes!!!

I shrieked, “MOM!!!! I have bags under my eyes!!! I’m getting old!!!

She just ever so calmly looks over at me and says, “Your grandmother had them too.”

*blank stare*

Is there a state in this country where murdering mothers is legal. *sigh*
