Salesman

A salesman came to the door today. I answered it and when I did he said: "Hi! Is your mom around?"

I looked at him with what I'm sure was the look of unexpected shock. He turned red and recovered by saying "Or are you the mom? You can never tell these days...."

This man could not have been much older than me! Do I really look that young? I was even sporting the "mother" look today; Shorts, T-shirt with greasy hair pulled back into a pony tail with no make up! Plus the obvious "I'm a mother" bags under my eyes.

Sheesh.
