Senior Discount

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!
