minor amusement

[lagilman]

At the Place of Occasional Employment, we were discussing Annoying Teenagers, and I mentioned that back when I worked at the local movie theater, we used to have a cop on-site every Friday and Saturday night because with a couple of high schools gathering there, even an innocent shove between fifteen-year-old boys could get nasty, fast.

One of my co-workers mentioned that he could have been one of those teenagers showing off, and I said "probably not... I'm a few years ahead of you. " He showed disbelief, and I said "lets put it this way... I worked there in 1985."

He stared, then gave me a high-five.

I guess I still look pretty good for an old lady. *grin*

Heee... that's so fun! I was flirted with today. At least, I think I was flirted with today. And he was cute. And young.

Let's hear it for the old ladies. ;-)

What are you both, under forty?

Freakin' infants.

Signed, turns 51 on 28 June, and still not resigned to no longer being the hottest thing in the room.

Dear heart... I'm experiencing my youth now. I'm what one would call a late bloomer. I was NEVER the hottest thing in any room. Nor will I ever be. So I'll take my little victories where I can get 'em. :-P

What are you both, under forty?

Only if we limbo.

And you will ALWAYS be the hottest thing in the room. Nobody'd dare burn hotter. ;-)

Dude. Have you seen my daughter?

Scary. Talk about the hottest thing in the damned room...

I've seen that picture. Freakin' stunning. You produced a work of art, Deb.

Yeah, but now the little bitch is the hottest thing in the room, and not her mama.

But bringing it full circle?

I am the founding member of MABWA (Middle Aged Bitches With Attitude), and offer lifetime memberships.

Reminds me... barely on topic...

My sister worked at a theatre as a teenager and then MARRIED the cop running security who's easily 15 years older than her.

Took the fam a little 'getting used to'.

On the plus side, they've been hitched five years and have two children.

Back to your regularly scheduled....

Well, when you deem me "of age," add me to the membership. I fullly intend to have 'tude to spare.

Old Guy. Ancient, even. It's a wonder you can handle anything as newfangled as a computer, at your age...

Hee!! Dontcha love it? I get occasional jaw drops when I mention my age, and it certainly does perk me up. My mother, who is in her late sixties (yipe!!), also gets that reaction. I can only hope to follow in her footsteps.

When I went to catch one of the late shows for 'Revenge of the Sith', there were a group of kids hanging out in front of the box office. The gus in the box office were having enough problems that mall security was called to ask the loiterers to move on, but having little success.

As I waiting in line, one of the kids made a crack at the security guy with a tone that pretty much said, "You can't do jack to me". In response, I let a snort. That got a response from the kid and his demanding, "What are you looking at?"

I turned my head, looked the kid up and down and replied, "A future ditch digger." The security guy and the guy working the booth just started laughing, as did most of the line.

As for the kids, they postured for a moment while working up a retort, then moved on.
