Confession with the cleaning lady

CL: "Do you have any kids?"

Me: "No, not yet."

CL: "I have 3 kids and 2 grandkids."

Me: "Oh, thats nice."

CL: "How old are you?

Me: "Um, 37."

CL: "I'm 39."

Me: "Wow, thats great."

CL: "You still have time."

Thanks cleaning lady. You made my Monday.

But she sure did get down here at my Dad's house, man oh man. Thanks again 39 year old cleaning lady grandma, you rock.

  3. Here is why I'm known for having no tact...because when she said she was 39, I would have responded with "Wow, you must have started really young - or your children did." And then she would have been offended, and the conversation would have ended. :)

  4. I hate these kind of conversations with fertile strangres, why does every conversation have to revolve around offsprings or the lack there of.

  8. Ah age.....first I was dying to be 25....and now I refuse to believe that I am several years beyond that...throw babymaking in the mix...and I am feeling rosy!

    Hugs.

  9. She has 2 already? OMG, my ovary hasn't even learned what it's supposed to do yet unless someone pokes it with a hot poker. I'd forget to flush next time she's coming over. (Not really but it's fun to say.)

    I hope you're enjoying your time.

  12. She's only 39 and has grandkids already!?!? OMG!

    I hated comments like that too. We mostly got: "You've been married for 5 years, when are you going to have kids?!" Oy vey.

    :(
