That can't possibly be your grandson!

I was in the elevator earlier and we stopped to pick up passengers at a lower floor. A lovely young woman stepped in with a little boy. He was so adorable and kept staring at me, so I smiled and began talking to him. He got really shy at first, but she let him know that it was okay to talk with me and so for the rest of our ride down we had a fun conversation.
As we exited the elevator car, someone else asked her who this adorable little boy was. She said, "Oh, this is my grandson!" I stopped and my mouth just about hit the floor. This woman looked like a kid! I turned around and said to her, "That can't possibly be your grandson! You're WAY too young!"
She just began laughing and thanked me and I told her that she must have found the Fountain of Youth somewhere. She and her grandson waved goodbye to me and I went off out another door, shaking my head. You really just never know!

You really don't. My friends mom is in her 30s or 40s but looks my age for the most part.

sometimes it's because of early pregnancy, sometimes long gaps between children, sometimes remarriage. but it was so gracious of her to let the boy interact with the other adults.

@CRK109 they are a welcome sight and it's great to hear their voice, their laughter, their antics

It is hard to judge now a days! Sometimes I don't want to use the wrong phrase and offend people, but there are lots of young grandmas, mothers, etc now a days!

@CRK109 Heheh, I wonder what her secret was to maintain such a young appearance. :)

He was so adorable and I hardly ever see children anymore, so I really enjoyed it!

When my oldest grandchild was born, everywhere I took him, people thought I was his mom. No one suggests that now when I go out with Sandra.

And then there are parents like me, I had my kids late in life and one of my son's friends asked if I was his grandmother lol. That day I started to dye my hair.

@CRK109 Apparently when his friend asked him he laughed and told him no that's my mom. My sons are greatly loved and had a stable home which many of their friends did not. So there is something to be said for older parents.

It's hard these days to tell someone's age I think, harder than it used to be.
