This afternoon I got a text from my son which asked how I was doing in all this heat today. I replied fine because I'm in the house in the air conditioning. He said..well I'm checking on the elderly like they advise us too on days like this!!
So I laughed and asked how he was doing and he was outside replacing a water pump for someones well that had broken.( He's a plumber)
I made sure he was staying hydrated and using sunscreen (as a concerned mom would be) and then told him to get out of the sun because he must be having heat stroke because I AM NOT ELDERLY! 
It was nice of him to check on me but I wasn't overly fond of his joke.....hahahaha

@Marilynda1225 That's great! We have something in common. Oops, I spelled his name wrong. His mother didn't know how to spell it, so it's Jonathon.

@Marilynda1225 He is trying to impress you. Maybe, he is having it rough out there trying to make people comfortable in their skin. I don't know, but it seems he is the shy type.

You care about each other, and I can feel the happiness between you and your son.

Oh, har har har.
I have a nephew that likes to call me "Auntique".
"Hey Auntique" he says.
Ugh.

@Marilynda1225 It mostly just irritates me. He used to say it all the time. He doesn't so much anymore.

I am very lucky to have a son who is concerned that his "old" mother is okay

Age is just a number. I know young people who are old, and older people who are young
