DAUGHTER!

Our ds and i accompanied dh to to work yesterday so i could help him with a project. He simply intorduced us to everyone in the room as his family.
A little while later while we are painting a coworker says "oh, i didnt know mr dh had a daughter, how old are you?"
Now people tell me i look young often, its because im only 5 ft tall with a small chest and dont often wear much makeup...but dh and i are only five years apart.
I looked at him and said, "oh....um....im actually his wife, im 27."
I dont know who was more embarrassed, me or him. He blushed and said oh im so sorry, you just look so young!
So....i look like im twelve??? Wtf??
I immediately went to buy some "older" looking clothes....next time i wont wear jeans and a t shirt....maybe that will help?
Seriously, if you look at my face i dont possibly look that young.

People used to think I was way younger than I really was too. I'm in my 40's now and it doesn't happen anymore. I hated it back then but now I think I'm starting to miss it. Wink

DH and MSD were once mistaken as BF/GF. Granted MSD does look way older and DH does look younger then his age. And probably the fact that they were hanging all over each other.

*ugh*

People should just NEVER make comments about age, weight, or pregnancy. (Oh are you expecting?) NEVER

Oh hey totally OT here... you'll never guess who's name came across my desk today on a referral!!!!! Labiyah!
I'm really hoping that the number is disconnected when I call because... I just can't

Same boat...5ft, small chested, and I have freckles. People often mistake my OBS for my bf when we're out somewhere. EWWW, once it happened while DH was with us. The funniest part is I'm older than DH and some people think he's a craddle robber. lol

This has happened to me before....SO and I are 22 years apart though so I can't really blame the person. I was in the apple store recently waiting for a genius appointment with SO, and when he stepped away the genius person referred to him as "Oh we need to get the signature of your....uh....uhm...." He started to say dad so I just filled in boyfriend for him. AWKWARD!

Another time we were in Arizona on vacation and decided to grab dinner and walk around near the University. People were giving us weird looks and I didn't figure out why, then it hit me at dinner. They think He's the dirty professor and I'm his student LOL! I'm 27 but probably look 21 or 22. I thought it was hilarious and kept calling him "professor" all night while in earshot of students.

I have the same problem as you do. I look young for my age.

A few weeks ago when I went to church with DD, a random man who I don't know said, "You look too young to be holding a baby" as I walked past him. He was also holding a baby but it looked to be his granddaughter. I wanted to say, "You look too old to be holding a baby".

I'm 15 years younger than my DH, and only once have I ever been called his daughter. I've been told I look young for my age, but he looks young for his age too. I'm starting to get up there in years, so I guess I'll just have to be happy with the knowledge that I really am a bit younger than DH.
