Ya know, I used to have my kids trained to say I was 29. Then one day when one of my daughters friends asked the wonderful question in front of me "How old is your mother?" And she replied nicely 29! The girl said wow, I thought she was older then that! Nice huh? So I decided from then on they can say my real age of 40, it might sound better *IF* they say "I didn't think she looks that old!" LOL
