I was spacing out in front of the PC one day, couldn't wait to get my ass off work. My 23 year-old colleague next to me was humming to a tune from the radio. A tune which I like too. I mumbled something about the song was cool.
She turned and stared at me, 'You are the coolest oldest woman I have ever known!'
I looked at her and replied, 'Should I laugh or cry at your comment?'
We both burst out laughing.
Inwardly, I was, 'Oh goodness, I didn't know I am so ancient in their eyes!'
Which reminds me the big Four O will be approaching soon in a matter of few years. Somehow the idea of getting that old freaks me out a little.
No, on second thought, the idea really scares the shit out of me.
Indeed the wheel of time halts for no one. Sigh...
But on a consoling note, my colleague did mention 'coolest' in the same breath as 'oldest'.
Heh.

Hi Pris! You are very sweet. But I am at least 10 years older than her leh. That should qualify her as a lot younger than me, is it not? :)
Hey gal, 10 yrs not THAT much older...I think 30yrs would be considered older! hahahahahha....
