Walking through the village this afternoon, pushing my bicycle. An elderly lady strolls up to me with a huge smile.

Elderly lady: "Oh hello dear! I saw you on Sunday!"
Me: "Oh - erm, did you? Where?"
Elderly lady: "You were in church!"
Me: "Erm..."
Elderly lady: "With your two little girls!"
Me: "Erm..."

(Note: I don't have any children and, as a Jewish atheist, have never attended a church service in my life!)

...the dignity of the village sage,
having been left intact;in some settings the role
or contribution of elderly undefined or nonexsistant.
You may have "made her day",her smile
may be an acknowledgment of your kindness
exuded in the village;harmlessly trying to bond
to another female maternally?

She meant well, and you have a Doppelganger.....

Always a difficult one! Did you even begin to correct her?

No, she must have been about 90 - better just to smile and be friendly 🙂

At least she was smiling!

That's one of the advantages to living in Britain - Christians over here are generally fairly friendly, not like the kind found in some parts of the US!

Should have gone to Specsavers 🙂

Lol. You probably have one of those timeless faces Jeni. People recognize me as someone else every now and again. Maybe she was just our recruiting and you looked impressionable ( although I picture you from our exchanges as anything but impressionable, lol). Have a Happy New Year.

You may need to add this as one of your profile pics. 🙂

Except my bike is made of carbon fibre and has somewhat more race-orientated geometry than that one!

@Jnei LOL! Of course it does!

Your doppelganger has made an appearance ?
