You know you are getting old when:

I was looking for a bulb syringe in the baby section of the store. (To put drops in my dog's ears, not to suction snot out of a baby's nostril.) A woman there started chatting with me and asked if I had a granddaughter or a grandson.

To think that someone automatically assumed I had grandchildren made me feel old.

We were lucky enough to take a trip throughout Italy. I was amazed to see the varying DNA throughout the country from swarthy Arabic to fair skinned/blue eyed/redheads.

My maternal grandmother, who grew up in Mexico till she was a teenager, was a fair-skinned, auburn-haired Castilian Spanish woman with freckles! She married my grandfather, a short, handsome dark-skinned man. According to my mother, Grandmother always felt she'd married beneath her because of his dark skin. I guess Grandmother was a bit of a snob, lol.
