Age

I was talking to Mum (well, I was actually doing the listening part of the conversation) and she told me that some of her colleagues thought she looked like a 40 year old.
Me: You don't look 40! I'm nearly 40. I look 40.
Mum: They said I look 40. You look 25
Me: I don't look 25.Are they scared of you? i think you look early 50s but never 40.
Mum: They did say they thought I looked 40
Me: I suppose you could look like a 40 year old that has had a really hard life.

I should say we were laughing as we said this. My Mum looks great for her age (undisclosed - but saying she looks early fifties is flattering) but she never looks 40. I like to think I could pass for 35. then again I would like to win the lottery.
