Don’t you find it can be difficult to guess peoples’ age when they are from another culture? My Singaporean mother-in-law looks 50 but is well over 60!
A young girl calls out "Grandpa" to me. The hair is pretty grey and wild at the moment, but It’s a first and i am not best pleased.
Editor's Addition: Lij Fire assures me that this is not meant as a personal insult. I am probably the same age as her grandfather and this is a typical greeting to someone of approriate ages.
