Gin -
I always laugh at your sig line, 'cause it makes me think of my family! There is daughter (me) 39, daughter 28, daughter 18, son 16, grandson 11 (my son)
Last year for Mother's Day we were all in town, and went out to brunch (first time we've ever managed to do that) and the poor waitress!! She took a look at our group, and thought she had figured out who was who's kid and she was a mile off base!
She thought my mom and I were sisters, and she thought my mom was the younger of us 2. (Mom LIKED that!)
She DID figure out that my 2nd sister(18) and brother(16) were my mom's kids, which also made mom happy.
She thought my 1st sister(28) was my daughter (!!) and she thought my son was my grandson!! (Which made mom and sister laugh hysterically)
I was slightly less amused! LOL!
I love my spread out family!
