Mirror Mirror

So today ran into an old friend.
Still just processing this.
So a mom was dropping off her kids, said I looked familiar.
Did she know me from Leader?  Did we used to play together?

So
1. this NEVER happens
 2. I had 3 girl friends growing up there are three choices, the rest were guys.
3. She is clearly not one of my guy friends

I know one childhood friend just got married and does not have kids
I have already spent some with other female friend that I stayed in touch with, so its clearly not her.
That leaves one option.

I say her name in shock.  and I am blown away that I remembered and that it is actually her.

Its you! You have kids!  Your old, (wait we are the same age....what is going on here)
Clearly this has thrown me for something.

I always assume mom's are old.  or older.  My brain has clearly not registered that I could have a ten year old now if I had made different life choices.  And settled for Moron number #1 or semi Moron #2 or i think this is a good idea so you should too #3 or even not quite sure what we are #4.  I'm sure either of them would have been fine donors.

I don't even know how to verbalize this. Like we used to play dolls together.

She looks like an adult.

I don't think I do. I still feel like I am 20.  could be the lack of having to wear suits and heals to work anymore but man.....

What do I look like to people?  How do I come off? Do I look like a walking disaster?
Do I look fun? Do I look worn out? Tired? Young? Clearly having identity issues? Do I give off don't ever let the crazy lady have kids she lets them throw jello you weirdo vibes?

In the mean time....ill settle for miss lady....cause the kids can't seem to recall who the scratch I am....and miss lady is in fact better than hey you person.....which I was called last week....
