One afternoon while in a local store, my middle-aged wife complained to the clerk that she felt old that day because her back hurt. He tried to cheer her up, saying that she only looked 18. To my surprise, she didn’t seem pleased. On the way home, I asked her why. She said with a grimace, “Because I must look really old if he had to lie that much!”
