Response: "50+"

All,
I just had to post this hilarious response from "Midnight:"

" Turning fifty didn't bother me at all... Maybe for several reasons...

First of all, the little whippersnapper check out people at Kroger have been giving me the "senior" discount for some time. I've thought about asking them "just how OLD do you think I am" but, being a mature person in my fifties, I just smile sweetly and thank the little snits for my discount. Plus, it would probably cause a bit of a scene if I jumped over the counter stuffed my Kroger card down their little juvenile throats. At that point, paper or plastic wouldn't even be an option...

Second reason 50 wasn't so bad, my sweet husband surprised my with a piece of very nice jewelry. I don't care what folks may say, giving a woman jewelry is nothing but a win/win situation...

Third reason. I know, but, apparently other people don't know, I'm really only 27. Why the general public can't see that is beyond me. And it's usually people that appear to be in their 30s or 40s that don't realize or notice my "27ness". Some even feel obligated to say "yes ma'am and no ma'am" and naturally, I turn around to see to whom they're speaking...

Being in my fifties doesn't bother me. I really do feel wiser and think that my decisions make more sense. And although I've had multiple opportunities, not a single Kroger employee has been injured. Proof right there that some good things do come with age..."

Thanks Midnight for your keen insight and humor!
