Age Is Relative

Driving carpool makes me feel old. Am I really old enough to have a child in a carpool? Am I responsible enough to drive a van of children? Yipes.

Also, I've noticed that for the last few years, I've been a "ma'am." I used to be a "miss." Now I never hear it. I'm even a "ma'am" when I don't have my kids with me!

On the other hand (Maija, this is for you), someone at volleyball last night asked me if I go to school there. It's a high school.

And someone at Hamline University, where I work out, asked me if I was there for the gymnastics program, which is all high school and college age.

So maybe old is relative.

Oh man I hate it when people call me "ma'am". It's just too much!

I remember being 17 when I first got called ma'am, and it freaked me out. I think I went on a tirade in the car, and my Grandma laughed at me.
