The boys and I were out shopping for Cory's birthday yesterday when I had an official "I feel REALLY old" moment! I was actually receiving some of the best help & customer service I have had in a long time. It was actually fun shopping again because I had some assistance in our purchases. It was when we were checking out when "it" happened. I was enrolling in a free rewards program with this store and I was asked for my birthday...no problem I thought (here's the rest of the conversation)
HELPER: Can I get your birthday?
HAILEY: Sure, it's 11/12
HELPER: ...and the year?
HAILEY: 1976
(PAUSE)
HELPER: Oh my - that's SOOO cool...you are almost exactly 10 years older than I am!
HAILEY: (Gulp...this is when my head starts spinning...and think...am I really this old now?!"
HELPER: But you don't look it...that's a compliment
HAILEY: Oh Thanks...
Don't Worry...I was really nice to him...he provided me with so much help I didn't care what he said to me (at least at the time). I did enjoy the fact that he had to tell me that not looking like I am almost 3-2 is a compliment (sigh). Oh well, I should be thrilled...he could have said so many other things in that moment! (ha)
Until next time...
