What A Card!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I haven’t been carded in years,
But the last time it brought me to tears.
I was laughing, I mean:
To be seen as a teen
By a fellow whose folks were my peers.

stage three: flattered that you are carded
stage four: disbelief that you are carded
stage five: laugh at being carded

LOL! Many years ago my wife and I built a place on the California coast. I had just turned 55. We had some things to drop off at the dump, and I saw that on turning 55, I was entitled to a half price senior discount.
