It all started when someone called me a "housewife". Although I know there is very little difference between a SAHM and a housewife, it pricked a little to hear it on me. Then it was the provision shop owner who thought I was a maid. She spoke to me in English but everyone else around me in Mandarin or Cantonese. Ouch! My ego was bruised. But the final lethal blow came from some teenagers who needed my access card to enter my condo. They actually said, "Thank you, AUNTIE!"
Okay, enough is enough! I have neglected my appearance for too long... It is time to do something about my appearance. DAMAGE CONTROL!
hahaha....sorry, but i can't help laughing. Guess age is catching up with us. What I find most irritating is an older aunty calling me 'aunty'!
ReplyDeleteI thought it's ok to call auntie wat... all the little kids around us all call us auntie rignt ? Auntie Annie, Auntie Linah, Auntie Karkeng etc...
ReplyDeleteYo... not when teenagers call me aunty mah... :(
