Ok, y'all know I have a new manager trainee in my store this week. She's from Montana, about 27 years old, and she's really sweet. More importantly, she's on the ball and making my job relatively easy. She's kind of...um....outdoorsy. I'm all "Aack! Hand lotion! Get some hand lotion!" and she's all "What for?" and I'm all "Aack!" again, while I'm fishing around in my pockets for one of like 6 tubes of lipstick that I carry around with me, lest my lips begin to look pale or something equally horrifying thoughout the day. She's a really cute girl, in her own dry-handed, no hair product, permanently wind-chapped kind of way. Hey, I'm not judging. Although she did say something about "...yeah, when you come to Montana, there's this cave, and........." suddenly I'm hearing Charlie Brown's teacher as soon as she says "cave". Cave?! WTF am I gonna do with a cave?
So yesterday I'm dicking around (that's really attractive, isn't it? "Dicking around"...so feminine and demure) and as I have done with my own staff from time to time, I joke about my age. It's kind of this running thing where I like to say I'm older than I really am. Some days it's because I need to RUN, not walk, to the colorist, because my gray hair is ridiculously out of control, or because the sweater that I thought looked cute in the store suddenly starts looking all Golden Girls. Yesterday it was because my in-need-of-a-replacement knee was aching like a m'fr because it's so cold here, and I was hobbling around and joking about my arthritic joints....and I said "Well, you'll have that when you're 51." She looked at me kind of sideways, and we went on about our day.
Tonight we went to dinner after work, and she was asking about my family, blah blah blah...and I mentioned something about my dad being like, 68 or 69. She got this sideways look again, and said "Well, gosh, he must have had you pretty young then."
"Pardon?"
"Well, you know....if you're 51."
Aaack!
Geez, Trainer Girl, that was a fucking joke.
But I look GOOD for 51. Right?

At least you aren't asked if you are your own daughter's grandmother! It makes me insane and I may kill the next person who asks.
I'm so gonna start lying about my age. That's too f'ing funny.
Absolutely hilarious! But seriously, how much can you really expect from a 27 yr old? LOL
Oh, Elle... Don't you just love young gullible women? I know Efen does! And this Janice_Phil is following me too!
Efen and Trisha looks like she is following all of us! Who is Janice_Phil? LOL it was probably from Efen! You know he got that Asian porn film lady, maybe this is another one! haha

Where are you chica? Get away from Not New Guy and say something funny. Please !!!!
LOL So much for my "add years so I look exceptionally good for my age" plot! Don't they have any of your chain's stores closer to Montana? That's a long ass way to go for training.
