If the old woman doesn't have a cane, you. If you're not carrying groceries, her. If she's having a hard time carrying her purse the size of a small cow, her. If you're feet are so swollen, you're wearing flip-flops in 35-degree weather, you. If you're not in a wheelchair or powerchair and she is, her. If she's not in labor and you are, you.
Maybe it depends on how old or how pregnant the women are.
This reminds me of the time Wade and I were at Panera (we treated ourselves once a month when I was pregnant with Emily) and not only was I not offered first entrance through the door, but poor Wade ushered in the elderly/retired couple approaching the entrance with "age before beauty...er, um, beauty before age...no that doesn't work either. Never mind!" Poor Wade just smiled sheepishly after that.
I think I may have shared that story the night we saw 'Bella.' Sorry if twas a repeat!
Sorry Erin, I'd say the old woman. Chances are she's already been pregnant. She has one up on you- or maybe several.
ReplyDeletei agree with naomi. unless, of course, you're in the midst of labor. then preggers trumps age.
ReplyDeleteOld all the way. Spoken like a true soon to be old woman.
ReplyDeletei think you should fight for it. two woman enter one woman leave.
ReplyDeleteOld woman, sorry.

ReplyDeleteWait, what was the question again? :o)

Mama always said-
ReplyDelete"Respect your Elders"......
yea, I don't even think there are extenuating circumstances- always the old woman, even if you are carrying groceries or 3 weeks overdue.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all the comments; especially Jenny.
ReplyDeleteJenny, you crack me up!
