    More Out of Monday with Madeline

    I’m Madeline – a healthfully humorous, radically ridiculous, momentarily messy broad here to give you a flicker of joy on the (in most cases) worst day of the week.

     

    Monday is like…

    …unscrewing a hot light bulb; it’s dumb and unnecessary but you keep doing it anyway.

     

    Whenever I see old friends (or enemies), I usually think that they haven’t aged as well as I have, especially if they have the crow’s feet thing, the over tanned faces, the beer bellies; you know the type.  It’s more than obvious that they care little about there health and appearance.  I’ve been lucky that none of those features have plagued my fairly young-looking face and body.  OK, the crow’s feet have been walking toward my eyes lately, but that other stuff will not get a hold of this lady…if I have something to say about it.  Anyway, I wanted to share a little humorous anecdote that Kellie passed on to me.

    Dental Drama

    Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and think, surly I can’t look that old?

    Well, you’ll love this…

    My name is Cathy, and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist.  I noticed his DDS diploma which bore his full name.  Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name who had been in my high school class some thirty-odd years before.

    Could he really be the same guy that I had a secret crush on way back then?

    Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.  This balding, gray-haired, man with the deeply lined face was WAY too old to have been my classmate.  After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.

    “Yes.  Yes, I did.  I’m a Mustang,” he said gleaming with pride.

    “When did you graduate?” I asked.

    He replied, “In 1975.  Why do you ask?”

    “You were in my class!” I exclaimed. 

    He looked at me closely.

    Then, that ugly, old, balding, wrinkled, fat-assed, gray-haired, decrepit, SOB asked,

    “What did you teach?”

    I don’t know about you, but I think I would have punched the guy out right there from the dental chair! 

    How about you?  Have any big jerks totally embarrassed you with age-related comments?  Or the when are due question when you’re not pregnant one is great, too!  Please share; we want to hear…please, please!!!!

    Love,

    Madeline

    1. I’m am DYING laughing! That story was hilarious yet scary at the same time! lol

      I always get ‘you look exactly the same as you did in high school’ … but I think that if I were to step a little closer to the person, they would see the gross amount of wrinkles gathering under my eyes and the thick line, er, I mean, wrinkle that has claimed my forehead as it’s home sweet home. I’ve been thinking about growing bangs again…to hide Mr. Thick Wrinkle.

      lol
