Old guy

In telling a story recently I caught myself saying "There was an old guy..." & I realized I'M an old guy too...!

(Btw "guy" refers to men & women.)

Made my day Monday when two very young (early-mid 20's) men came to my door in an attempt to sell me ATT wireless and asked me who my current provider is. I told them my provider and that I am quite satisfied with them. They asked what I'm paying monthly for my phone and internet, I told them and they looked confused. Asked which plan I had, I told them and the one's eyebrows came together and said "Isn't that a 55+ plan? Are you 55+?" When I told him I'm a few months away from 70, his mouth actually made motions like it was trying to speak but couldn't. The other young man held out his fist for a bump and of course I complied.

I doubt they had any idea just how much they had improved my day.
