In Girl Years

Honestly can't say I'm winning over the fairer sex in my family. Told my Daughter-In-Law, who just turned 30, "That's pretty old in girl years. No laughter, just a solemn reply. "That is old in girl years."

Then today my youngest daughter turned 31 as she gleefully informed me. Yet again, "That is old in girl years." Silence on the phone.

Been said I had a pretty good since of humor. So do you think I should work on my delivery? :smile:

    I don't think it's your delivery, it's just not funny.

    The early 30's has to be purgatory for women...you're past your prime and not old enough to be a cougar yet...

    It's the stereotypical " house wife" years....

    Well that a surprise.

    Girl years could be interpreted as dog years. No woman likes to be compared to a dog.

    The only way you could get away with this is if you are really, really, REALLY, ridiculously good looking.

    You should always joke with women about their age, they love that.

    Well, I've got a odd sense of humor. When my wife turned 25, I wished her "Happy quarter of a century!" I also wished my mom 'Happy half a century" on her 50th

    Pft. Next time, you should point out imaginary grey hairs and wrinkles.


    I mean, if you're going to insult their age by comparing them to a dog, at least do it right.

    I guess I don't find the joke funny because I wasn't upset about turning 30... I was actually excited! I still get carded for liquor and I don't have gray hair or wrinkles so why should I feel old???

    I guess 30 feels depressing when your life sucks, but I have a great job and an awesome husband. In my twenties I ate ramen noodles, had to borrow money from my parents, and had a crappy apartment. Last year for my 30th birthday I went to Italy and for my 31st I am going to London and Paris... something I could have never afforded in my twenties.

    Maybe I will get upset when I reach my 50s, but hotties like Demi Moore and Madona give me hope that the 50s will be pretty great as well!!!

    My wife is 3 years younger than me and got a grey hair first...I probably missed out on a lot of " stuff " by messing with her about it.

    I'm getting paid back with nose and ear hair though...

    ^True, they are past their prime and not old enough to be a cougar, but are entering their peak stage. Not a cougar yet but a wild cat yes!

    I'm ten years younger than my husband, and I have more grey hairs than him.

    Luckily, he comprehends the notion of premature greying. Also....hair dye.

    I'd be insulted. Try " you will always look 30 and youthful". That might win her over. :flowerforyou:

    haha i'm in my 30's and my hubby joked the same way (not delivery but punchline that needs work, he added 'good thing you're a woman!' went over much better!) 30+ has been my best time so joke away!

    Well, I'm 42 and I plan on living to be 100 so I'm not even half way there yet. Still a youngster in my book.
