YES, We're Older Parents, Okay?!?

We were at a restaurant for lunch with Caroline on Monday and the waitress came up and said. "Awww, she's so cute. Grandchild?" Strangely without missing a beat I informed her that she was my daughter. AS IF that wasn't bad enough, she said "Ohhh, I'm sorry" and quickly walked away. Funny, I think when people say that (this is not the first time by far) it sometimes comes from people seeing Kevin and I and realizing that she doesn't look like us more than it comes from them thinking we are too old to have a child her age. BUT, when you're about to turn 40, it stings! I did have an interesting thought today, though. When Caroline is old enough to go to college, Kevin and I will be retiring. How many people can say that?
