Reply #142: As you know, kids will find ANYTHING to pick on

[Patiod]

My mother had prematurely gray hair, and people used to say "is that your grandmother?" I told her about it (kids are clueless) and it must have hurt her feelings - not only was she gray at 25, but she WAS an older mom by the time they got me.

The poster immediately above gives some great advice - and she sounds like she knows what she's talking about.
