That's me with the contorted facial expression trying to be appreciative yet at the same time not showing my horror.
I am completing my transaction at the Kohl's check out counter. I have just bought Peter a pair of jeans. My total is cheaper than I thought it would be so I look at my ticket. I notice that there is a calculation for 10% off. Yeah! But why? I ask the young girl ringing up my purchase where the 10% off came from. She cheerfully tells me, "It is the Senior discount. Today is Wednesday, Senior discount day." I am grateful to be saving a few dollars, really I am. But I am aghast to think that at 44 years of age, I have been offered the Senior discount. Maybe she is so young she can't tell the difference. Maybe it was the way I was wearing my hat. Maybe it is the late nights I have been keeping and the bags under my eyes. Maybe I need to start wearing some make up and restyling my hair. I don't know! I do know that I am not ready to be classified as a Senior but I am looking forward to those 10% discounts!

LOL savings are savings no matter what the circumstance. I remember when my Aunt turned 85, she said "It's just a number". Age was not as important to her as enjoying every day!
lol :)
