Kids and Old Folks = Trouble, Lots of Trouble!!

So I last left off with my ranting about feeling "lost".
Well what's worse, you ask, then already feeling like a crazy women who is getting old and losing herself???
Sitting in a doctors office with about 20something 80 year olds!
And NO I'm not exaggerating! (This time)

I had to take my mother, oh my sweet dear mother, to an eye doctor appointment. Accompanying us were my 15, 8, & 5 yr old children. 

So let's recap so far... 
An overcrowded Doctors office full of at LEAST 25 80 something yr old people, Me, and my 3 kids.
This made for an interesting 4 hours. Yes, FOUR HOURS! 

At one point my 5 yr old son and one of these 80something yr old ladies, who was obviously perturbed that I would even think of bringing my kids, were caught in a stare down.

So between telling my 8 yr old daughter to stop staring at the older ladies wig, that was very obviously on backwards or maybe sideways and that no she couldn't tell the lady or fix it for her, and Yes I promise I will never wear pantyhose with sandals.
And repetitively asking my son to quit making farting noises behind the older man we were sitting behind because I really think the poor man thought it was himself and was getting upset and wondering why my son would hold his nose and giggle at him.
And let's not forget my 15 yr old daughter who's loud sighing and the need to constantly remind me of all the old, grumpy, and sometimes not so pleasantly smelling people we were surrounded by were sorda creepin her out.
We managed to survive!

What did I learn from this experience.....
1.) It definitely confirmed my fears of getting old!!

2.) If I'm ever wearing a crooked wig, smell funny, or am making funny noises, I can always count on my kids to point it out........In Public! :)


P.S. Stay tuned for my "New Things" Posts :)
