However, it is clear that when your hair is a silvery platinum colour like mine (by choice - it was black before and red before that) and you wear a beanie (although my son says the small one that I wear is called a doek) that there could be some misperceptions about you as I learnt at the Spar this week, much to the amusement of all who have heard the tale.
I went to the Superspar with my son, to get a few things for the office, and his lunch .... when we had paid and were walking to the car, I noticed that I had a pensioner's discount on one of the items. I giggled. However it changed to hysteria when I noticed that I had a pensioner's discount listed below every item they had scanned. At the top of the slip it appears I was logged in as a pensioner.
Really? REALLY? Now there is my son ... simply abandons the trolley in the middle of the mall, lies against his arms on one of the pillars and howls. I come back to work and tell my friend Makomo and she lies on her arms on the kitchen counter and cries with laughter. My friend Justin then sees that the Spur has a pensioner's special on certain days and cannot wait to tell me and my son reminds me that I can now watch movies at Ster Kinekor way cheaper and ride the bus for free. My husband now calls me Penshi and yes, my friends are a great source of amusement ..... and support as you can see.
Now the silver hair, I get that. The knitted doek ... I get that as well. But my face. Do I have the face of a 60 year old. Below is a pic taken about 3 weeks ago. Now imagine a beanie on that ....... do I look like a pensioner? And yes, I can hear you laughing .... all of you.
But when I take my free bus ride to see my discounted movie whilst eating my cheaper chocolate from Spar, I will have the last laugh whahahahaha
Till soon
