A chance remark made my night

Amber (@AmbiePam) put up a photo of her 80-year-old aunt Lana who looks incredible for her age. It reminded me of what happened on Monday night when we went to listen to a sea shanty group at a pub. Vince, his brother and I were there.
It was quite crowded and we ended up sitting in a booth opposite three strangers, who were very pleasant. There was a husband, wife and their son who was the designated driver. The husband sang a couple of shanties and had a good voice.
At one point, I was chatting with the wife and she asked which of the two men was my father. I didn’t laugh then but I thought it was hilarious and couldn’t wait to tell my ‘fathers’ on the way home. I am actually older than both of them but obviously I don’t look it.

I bet both your "fathers" were laughing like maniacs after you told them that. 
I agree, you don't look your age, either.

That's a huge compliment. I think the "Fathers" also had a good laugh.
