Cougar (?) ALERT

So, we had a concert at the theatreiworkat today that was sponsored by the local old people home.
As you may imagine, the average age of the attendees was well over 70. Which is saying something. Because although I joke about the theatreiworkat being constantly frequented by old people, this particular event brought out an even MORE ancient set than usual.
Let me say...on a day when there are so many wheelchairs and walkers around that we could turn the theatreiworkat into a medical supply shop is not a day to be short-handed.
And we were.
So instead of being in the box office like normal, I took tickets. I actually really like this job.
Anyway.
I'm taking tickets. I say to this one lady who had to be at least 75, "Enjoy the show."
She says (I swear on my life) in a flirtatious voice, "Well I will if you come sit next to me."
I laugh uncomfortably and then she adds, "You're a little cutie!"

At moments like these I play the "Do they know I'm a girl?" game in my head.
