Is that your mom?
Shari and me
Do I look like I could be Shari’s mom???
I can’t believe someone else thought I was Shari’s mom.
What the heck!? Come on, people, I am only six months older than her. Don’t tell me I look like I’m in my 60’s. If so, just shoot me now.
This is the third time I have received that comment and it’s becoming a disturbing trend. This time it wasn’t in person, but someone who was viewing our pictures and he asked Shari, “is that your mom?” What the…
I won’t let it crush my self-esteem, but I have to admit that I’m pretty annoyed about it. The next person who calls me Shari’s mom is going to get an earful and possibly a violent reaction, that’s for sure.
Can someone nominate me for 10 Years Younger?
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
This has happened to be before, and it was actually said to my face. My friend is about 5 years younger than myself, but there is no way I look like her mom. There is no way you look like Shari’s mom. I think we were told that because we were both Asian. You look great and don’t give those kinds of comments a second thought!
that is insane. how can you possibly be her mom? i think people are blind or at least those 3 you mentioned. and you certainly don’t need to be on “10 years younger”.
Hey, I know Shari’s mom. You don’t look anything like her!
That’s crazy! You both look young and beautiful. This resonates with me because people think I’m my husbands mother, which really sucks. I have silver (not gray) hair and he has eternally dark brown hair (his mom is 70 and has no gray in her hair at all). I actually did apply to be on 10 Years Younger, but haven’t heard anything. I thought my story was compelling!
truly a case for retaining the Second Amendment.
that’s crazy! you don’t look like her mom at all! you both look young and girlish! hope you are not truly offended. the majority of us thinks that assertion is nuts.
haha! you crack me up, donna!
and no, you look like possible cousins
or sisters,
but no er mom and daughter.
D’oh! No way. You both look like sisters. Young, young sisters. Pay no mind.
I feel your pain, though. I’ve been asked if I’m my wife’s dad, and we don’t look at all alike! I’ve also been introduced accidentally as my mom’s husband. Talk about weird!
I would have to say a resounding no. Some people have strange ideas I think. I have the opposite problem. Everyone thinks MY mum and I are sisters.
Won’t be long and they’ll probably be asking ME is I’m HER mum instead of the other way around. LOL.
ah…no worries donna…you don’t look like shari’s mom at all. people are weird. you look young and vibrant, my friend.
and that guy at the sephora…how does he even have a job there…no matter if a woman comes in there looking wrinkled like a raisin with thinning white hair like yoda…you never imply that a lady looks old.
