Stylish Handwriting

Filling in for BOTH roles

by E.P. on August 16, 2008

Thursday evening, I was mistaken for a PARENT at a high school open house. The teacher wanted to know who my kid was because I just had to be a parent to be walking around there with two HUGE cameras. (Note: I would have had to have my child at age 10 to have him/her be in high school.)

A week ago during the back to school extravaganza, I was mistaken for a high school student.

Where’s the disconnect, folks?

hahaha the only reason why this happened is because you are so mature but look so young. see? that’s the best of both worlds.

It’s obvious you’re simply ageless.

that is too funny…. see – you do have the best of both worlds… they thought you were A hot momma or a young teenager – who could beat that?

hahaha! People are stupid. I went to different cosmetic counters recently, one suggested wrinkle cream and the other asked where my mom was.

Oh man, that is seriously funny!! I still get carded without fail, every time I order a drink, so I think it will be a while before I’m even taken for an adult–never mind a parent!

And I was asked the other day why I didn’t have children. Wanna trade places?

I think the disconnect is in the same place where my big gay self was asked if I was the baby daddy of one of my best girlfriends in LA.

When I was teaching, I was asked where my hall pass was many a time. I had to prove I wasn’t a student by showing my teachers ID way too many times.

haha People are so silly. Maybe they thought you were a very excited overly enthusiastic parent with your two cameras.

Sometimes I get carded for cigarettes or lottery tickets and other times People guess i’m in my 30′s! ridiculousness. I guess sometimes I just look younger (usually when I’m dressed up to go out)
