[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would gently correct, with a syrupy “aww, thanks, that’s my son, not my grandson. Have a nice day.” And then they can sputter…but maybe they’ll stop assuming.[/quote] It’s not you, it’s them. They are not polite - trying to be friendly but are actually rude. The polite thing to do would have been to assume mom or sister and be corrected, implying that the person looks younger than they are, or best yet, not to assume any relationship at all.[/quote] Why do women insist on this farce? Being old is not an insult or a failing. Don’t insult me with some patronizing “I thought you were sisters!” BS. Most people mean well and are just trying to connect. The polite thing to do is assume the best of their Intentions. Not everything in this world is about you or how you perceive it. [/quote]
