'Nother day...'nother "Oh no he dint int!!!!!"

An older than me but not old old male customer and I were talking about not being with family this holiday season. He told me his son and daughter aren't able to make it home this year for the first time. I told him that I, too, will be away from my family for the first time. I, of course, was referring to my mom, Nelson, my brothers, niece and nephew.

He then asked me how old my kids are. In other words, "How old are your grown children?"

Bastard.

But the reality is, I certainly am old enough to have grown children. This comment caught me so off guard. When my mom was my age, I was a senior in college. I've never really put a lot of thought into it, but I'm SURE that if I'd had a kid at the age my mom was when she had me, my kid (daughter) would be graduating magna cum laude from an ivy league school this year. This after years of arguing why she should graduate from college, THEN become the super model.  22 years old IS NOT too old in this day and age.  Jeez, Alexandra Kay.  Listen to your mother.  (OK -- Perhaps the thought has crossed my mind.)

In Delores news...I worked late today. One of the girls told me that Delores needed to see me when I clocked out. Great. She called a few of us over and gave us Christmas gifts! Sweet! Then we (they) started talking about tomorrow. Supposed to hit 91, an all time high. WHAT???? 91?????? I thought it was supposed to snow.  I was then informed that the store was planning to reach $91,000.00 in sales. The average is around $50K in a day. Delores went on to say that between senior day (oh CRAP! It's Thursday ~ Geezer Day), the holidays AND the impending snow storm, our store is gonna be slammed.

I thanked D (I like that! D for Delores) for the gift, hugged it out and suggested she work on her pep talk skills.

Dreading tomorrow.
