I went to a pool party on Friday night. Had a blast and drank way too much. Haven't drank that much in a while. I knew most of the people there were younger than me but I didn't really give it much thought. A girl in her early twenties started talking to me and telling me her life story and all the little things that made her her. She was pretty fascinated with herself and I found it interesting so I asked questions. She told me about all her injuries, accomplishments, who gave her her boob job, how she use to be a lesbian and so on.
At one point I decided to jump in and tell her how I knew another chick who was 30 like me and.... The conversation was completely lost after that.
Young boob job chick: "You're 30! Oh my god, you look soooo good for 30"
I was awestruck. Never until that moment did I realize how horrible that sounds and that I will NEVER do that to someone older than me again. It is such a backhanded compliment. I know she was trying to be nice, I was probably a whole 6 years old than her. I know I've told people before how great they look for their age...but I promise to never do that again. I think I may start carrying lollipops around for the next youngin that says that to me. Hopefully it will be a looooooooong time away.
