OLD, BUT NOT TOO OLD

My beautiful wife of almost fifty years is celebrating another birthday today. She is the youngest looking __ year old I know.

A few days ago she was in the produce department of the local grocery store when a young lady approached her and asked what kind of potatoes she should buy to cook with a roast. Charlotte told her and the young lady said, "Oh, I’m sure that’s right. I remember now, that’s what my mother always bought." I asked, "Are you old enough to be her mother?" Charlotte said, "I’m old enough to be almost anybody’s mother!"

Not true! At least not in my eyes! But even if she is, in this case old is good–very good!
