Open mouth, insert foot

I was talking to my Mom yesterday on the phone and told her about walking into a restaurant "full of old people." My mother laughed. She'll be 70 next year.

Somehow, I don't think of her as old, but she's well into senior citizen territory by now.

I don't think my mom was willing to think of herself as "elderly" until she got well past 80. Of course, she didn't even retire from the workforce until well past 80.
