"So what are you doing this weekend, Dale?" she asked.
"I'm hoping to get up to see my mum this weekend, Beanzy," I said. "I think I'll be getting a ride from my sister."
"Oh, right. Mother's Day. I have to get my mum a card still. How old are you, Dale?"
"I'll be 47 on my birthday this summer."
"Cool!" she said. "My mum's 48."
I suddenly felt old, Ms J.
Positively prehistoric.

Been there, I hate it. It seems that each time I get a new member of staff at work their parents are younger than me! Gah! A fact that is regularly pointed out to me in amusement! Lol, their amusement, not mine, I might add!
Dale, you admitted that you like stories. How is it that you're passing up an opportunity for such a good one? Even if nothing comes of it, you might just have a nice time and want to take her out for coffee again.
