The other day, Richard had a question for Bubba. He wanted to know if he knew how old his Mama was. I figured he probably knew, because I just had a birthday a couple of weeks ago. So I asked.
"Forty-six?" he replied.
"No, Bubba, I'm not forty-six."
He thought for a minute. "Oh, I know. A hundred and forty-six!"
"A hundred and forty-six?" I couldn't believe it!
"Yes, Mama. You're ancient!"
So ladies and gentlemen, do you concur with Bubba? Am I one hundred and forty-six?
Thanks for your Bubba questions. I have a couple more to get answers for. It's been fun getting them! If you have any burning questions for Bubba, please put them in the comment section.
Not a day over thirty!
ReplyDeleteNow Methuselah, he was ancient...
Haha! You get brownie points for that one!
DeleteNo way! But the other day, I told my mom I was surprised the doctor I had as a teenager (same as hers) is still practicing. "He has to be really old." She looked confused and said, "No...he was probably in his 30s back then." I laughed. When you're a kid, it's hilarious what you think is "old!"
ReplyDeleteIt is funny what you think is old. I remember when my mom turned 40. I thought she was ancient, even though she still looked really young! :)
Deletemaybe a hundred and forty four, but certainly not hundred and forty six :P
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks, Dezzy!
DeleteBubba must not have looked at Mama very closely! No way you look 46 so 146 is not an option.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deanie. I feel so much better, now! :)
DeleteHi, dear Sherry!
ReplyDeleteNot 146...not 46. 36 maybe... but that's a stretch. You look 26. The only way I'll believe you're 146 is if you stand in front of a mirror and I don't see your reflection. Lady vampires are always well preserved. :)
You guessed it. I'm a lady vampire! And I'm 144! :)
DeleteNice of you to say I look 26. Now I don't feel quite so ancient!
Can you give me some of that fountain of youth potion if you are 146?
ReplyDeleteThe trick is, you need to be turned into a vampire. Then you'll look forever young.
DeleteI'd hate to see how old he thinks someone genuinely 100+ years old is...LOL.
ReplyDeleteNo way! 28?!?
ReplyDeleteLife & Faith in Caneyhead
No. 144. ;0)
DeleteFar from it. I remember thinking 30 was old back then.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I didn't think I'd live to be 40, because that seemed so old back when I was a kid. Now I'm past that, and still kicking! :)
DeleteI have told you before: You are a youngster, and a talented, beautiful one.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Aww, thank you, Janie!
DeleteKids don't know from age. They frequently try to guess mine, and their guesses are all over the place. No, you don't look 146.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amused when people try to guess my age. The kids think I'm old, and the adults think I'm young. :)
DeleteMam your appearance proved that you are not 46. May be 16.
ReplyDeleteMy husband says I'm twelve. ;0)
DeleteI sometimes wonder how old I look to other people or even kids. I don't feel nearly as old as I actually am.
ReplyDeleteYou're only as old as you feel!
DeleteHehehe no you don't look ancient, but I'm going to skip on guessing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're a wise woman! ;)
DeleteBubba, you're waaaay off. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Maybe he's not. Maybe I'm really a vampire! ;0)
DeleteBubba is using the new math?
ReplyDeleteSomething like that. ;0)
DeleteSherry, that's a beautiful shot of you with the violin! Love to hear you play as well :D
ReplyDeleteIt's funny what we did think old was and what old is or isn't. Either way, love seeing your pic. I say not a day over 27.
