It was interesting and odd, because I don't mentally feel any older.<br /><br />@Linda: I don't mind "Ma'am" but I do tip extra for "Miss!"Megan Coakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422558504606256516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-65322452490744719892011-10-27T21:57:48.863-06:002011-10-27T21:57:48.863-06:00midnight: Hah.

I realized the old leches in attendance were not trying to stare down my cleavage, but rather focusing on the twenty-year-old decolletages bouncing around the dance floor. <br /><br />Worse, some of the young men actually called me "ma'am."
