You know you're old when...

...you say something and sound just like your parents. I had this experience last Thursday and it reminded me that I sound like my mother and I'm not getting any younger. I was in 8th grade Science class and two girls were showing me their new jeans. Now the jeans had holes in them from the top to their knees. They were very excited they had the same pair and told me they had paid $30 for them. I said, "You paid $30 for a new pair of jeans that already had holes in them?" One girl laughed and said, "You sound just like my dad and grandparents." I said, "Well, I'm almost old enough to be your parent." She didn't really believe me, but it's true.

I had a less enlightening conversation with a person who wanted to know if my corn allergy was real. I said that it absolutely was real and I felt the effects. I was then told that even if it was all in my head that was ok because placebos work too. Honestly I wanted to punch the person in the face. They shall remain nameless.

On a happy note: I found potatoes chips today that I can eat. I didn't buy any because I bought pita chips yesterday, but I was ecstatic to learn that the Kettle brand uses Sunflower oil and not Corn oil.
