One of the choir moms just called about the collection for the choir teacher’s gift. She was the teacher’s aide in my younger daughters classroom so she does know me and we’ve chatted on several occasions.

I answer, and she says: “Hi, this is Mrs. So-and-So, is your mom home?”

Pause. “Umm…I am the mom!”

I get that ALL the time! People I meet in person don’t say I sound like a child, but over the phone people always say I sound younger than I am. She and I laughed it off…she still didn’t think it was me!

Once, when I was a brand new 19 year old mom in my brand new home, someone selling some crizap came to my door and asked if my MOM was home. My husband thought it was hilarous. I think I’d find it funny if it happened now, I wish I looked 19 again! (Hey, a little $$ and botox and it could be possible again….LOL)
