young and old

i found out today that i am old
i went into one of those
teen stores that buy and sell clothes
they refused my clothes
giving me what could only be an excuse
known as a lie....
"we can't accept your clothes.....
they won't sell because they're too
mature"
too MATURE!?!?! TOOOOOO MATURE!!!!!!!!
have i aged that much?
i looked around the store
and noticed several teenage
girls with their
MOM's
was i really that blind?
I then looked down at my 5 year old son
he was staring up at me
with this great big grin on his face.
I asked why he was smiling and he replied,
"mom, you're a dinosaur."
A dinosaur. A DINOSAUR!!!!
I really am getting older?!??!!
It can't be denial.....
I've just truly been unaware that
I've aged in the past 10 years.
