"A lovely elderly couple in Bali"
I overheard Rico, our pot-bellied apartment manager, refer to us as
"the elderly couple upstairs."
"the elderly couple upstairs."
What?!
How dare he?!
How dare he?!
Phil may be elderly, but not me!!!!
I'm about to tell Rico, "Hey, I'll race you around the block.
We'll see who is the elderly then."
Unfortunately it's happened before.
The first time someone called us that was in Bali where we ran a guest house.
A young woman from Singapore wrote in her travel blog that she stayed with
"a lovely elderly couple."
"a lovely elderly couple."
Ouch ouch ouch!
One more insult and I'll go back to painting my hair red and yellow!
Or maybe I should start wearing a wig
Anything to escape being called elderly!
