So, there I was in Kohl's the other day

[Ohiogal]

and I walked past the Clearance rack .... I thought hey, let's see what they have here.

And I found a really nice top, a Vera Wang design, I loved it. Marked down to $8! That's my kind of price.

I took my few purchases up to the checkout counter. The man who was working the register was friendly and chatty. He wasn't exactly a teenager, I'd place him anywhere between 25 and 35.

Anyway, as he scanned the tag for my Vera Wang top, he said, "Hey, this is a nice top. I just bought the exact same one for my GRANDMOTHER for a Mother's Day gift!"

1. So whatcha got against grandmothers, gal???

[Ohiogal]

2. Absolutely nothing!

Evidently my taste in clothing runs to the grandmotherly style, according to this young fellow! When I think of what MY grandmother wore ......

[elleng]

3. Vera Wang???!!!

Sounds like pretty good 'grandmotherly style' to me!!!

4. I once went to a Kohl's

Too pricey for me.
Didn't see a 'clearance section'.

I'm a fan of JC Penney.

5. They can indeed be pricey

...that's why I only look at the clearance or sale things. And even then I don't go that often. I buy my Food Saver bags there when they send me a coupon in the mail. That's what I was there for the other day.

17. I used to buy all the basics for my two boys at JC Penney and then I discovered Kohl's

Got one of their credit cards and every time I received a 30% discount coupon from them I'd take whatever boy
needed something over there to get it--jeans, t-shirts, shorts, socks, etc. Didn't buy shoes there.

Kohl's had a much better selection for boys' stuff than Penney's.

6. When I turned 63

My daughter gave me a card commemorating my 75th birthday; she explained that she rounded off to the nearest quarter-century.

7. Love it. Gives me an idea for my daughter's next b'day card.

8. Reminds me of a funny...

I make my own greeting cards, most are flower designs but one is like a screen shot of some place beyond our solar system. Once, back in college as a late bloomer of 40-something, my work-study super told me it was our boss' B-day and I was invited for cake, etc..

Somehow I imagined it must be his 50th or something since there was a party. During my break I went home and fetched a card, the outerspace card seemed best. I had a time trying to think of what to write in it... then it came to me (it had to be funny). I wrote:

"This picture is to remind you that there actually is something out there that is older than you!"

He framed it and kept it on his desk the rest of my time there.

I relate this only for those who might be interesed.

9. I bought a shirt at Kohl's that was worn by the GRANDMOTHER on Jane the Virgin

Now, she isn't a particularly dowdy sort of grandmother, but it still made me question my life choices. (Also Xiomara on that show is younger than me by several years. In fact, most of the characters are, except for Alba).

10. There are days when I look in the mirror and

wonder who that woman is in there.

[KT2000]

11. I feel your horror!

I called the cable company for tech support and after explaining the problem the woman asked if I had a neighbor or grandchild who could help me!!!

[Ohiogal]

12. Oy vey! That's bad.

[barbtries]

13. i have maybe worse.

TWICE, i have been offered a wheelchair at the airport.

now i'm no spring chicken, but if i need a wheelchair i will ask for it.

[Ohiogal]

14. Oh no!

That sucks!

15. My sweetie Jeannie hates for waiters (waitresses) to call her "maam".

She prefers "miss". She turns 61 this Friday.

16. What's worse is when

Male Doctors or other old men call you "Young Lady".
