auntie i am not !

About a month ago, i went over to the National University of Singapore to witness their National Rag and Flag day which my sister was a part of. We had to sit on the terace like stands facing the field to watch all the floats taking part in it. While the procession was taking place, there was this pretty little girl standing behind me trying very hard to see all the going ons on the field. So, me being nice and sweet seeing how adorable she was, asked her if she wanted to come in front of me instead.

She looked at me shyly and then an older woman who was chaperoning her (or some sort, could be a family member, but definitely too old to be her mom) asked her again, "Ya, do you want to go in front of Auntie?"

AUNTIEEE????????

OMG, horror of all horrors! Which part of me looks like an auntie at that time?? I was wearing a nice shirt with short skirt, and was sitting next to my 88 year old grandmother. That pretty much highlighted my youthfulness no?

After hearing that, with my smile still plastered on my face though i was cussing all the way inside, i waited for that little girls answer. Try as i might, i cannot imagine myself looking like an auntie, especially not then! I am only 19. That is also not until the end November. *sniffs*

Sigh, the pleasures of growing old - er, and people reminding you of it.
Repeat after me, SueLynn is NOT an Auntie. Thank you.
