Today's "Look Younger" tip is courtesy of the friendly Korean woman who works at The Rice Bowl, a restaurant near my daughter's house in Saskatoon.
I dropped in there today to get some bi bim bap to go, and as I went to a table and turned my back to gather up the take-out dinner, the waitress who spoke very little English, rushed over from where she had been sitting with a friend. The two women must have been discussing me, because the friend gave me a big grin as my waitress declared "You looking so younger!" I obviously didn't get it so she made a swooping gesture that took in all of my rear view -- hat, parka, jeans, the works. Now I understood. "Well, that's because I wasn't turned around" I replied, pointing out that face on, I definitely look my age. And the three of us--all older women--had a rueful laugh.
Hmmmm. I suppose we do all have a younger side and that is a cheerful thought. I just wish I could think of some practical application -- one that didn't involve walking backwards.
