HELP! I bought an 'old lady' shirt!

After my awesome run at JC Penney the other day, I decided to head back there for a second glance...
...sans kids.

So, I found a few shirts for myself this time...
...and a few more things for my growing boys.

So...I get to the register, and the cashier and upon folding up my shirt says,

"I LOVE this shirt!"

I smile...and she continues,

"I just got this for my MOM last month!"

I unsmile.

Well, crap.

I've just purchased an old-lady shirt.

Unless, of course, this cashier's mother had her when she was the tender age of 10 (tragic, I know...),

and since she had such a hard life being a single mother during her teenage years,

her mom never really grew up - or never fully matured in her fashion sense.

And this cashier really only LOOKED 30...but in reality, she's only 14...

...and was given a minor pass to work at JC Penney's....

...so, really, that cashier's mother was only 24....


...well, then it's ok.

But, just in case the road of hard knocks didn't hit this sweet little cashier....

...I went to the next Customer Service Stand and returned the "old lady shirt."

ROTFL!!!! I'm sure her mom was one of those super cool women who doesn't look her age. In fact, I bet she and her mom go to those mother daughter look alike contests they have every Mother's Day at the mall, and they buy the super young looking outfits so the daughter is happy to wear the matching outfit with her mom.
(Is this helping at all??? LOL)

haha. You should have taken a picture. For arguments sake....she could have been a cute-clothes-wearing Pati. I like most of Pati's clothes and "inherit" them when she does her Goodwill closet purges.
