Laughing at Myself

I do not think of myself as a vain person - especially about my physical appearance - but I just had to share this.

Yesterday I was in a supplements store with a friend asking for help in selecting a new multi-vitamin. A knowledgeable employee showed me 3 or 4 options, explaining the benefits of each. Then she picked up one more, frowned as she put it back and said, "That would be a good one eventually, but it will be years before you will need it." She left to help other customers.

Curious, my friend grabbed the rejected multi-vitamin and started laughing. It was labeled for women ages 50 and up.

"Years" before I qualify? Try 51 weeks.

Yup, I walked on air for hours after that one...I'm not above a bit of flattery!
