Now that I am a woman of a certain age, I am invisible. I can walk down the street without ever being noticed, and I attend meetings where nobody cates about my opinion.
My advice: Be careful what you wish for.

When I was a kid, I always wished I had the superpower of invisibility. I imagined myself skulking around, listening to adult conversations, sneaking into R-rated movies, and going places my parents would never let me go. When I grew up I planned to become a super-spy and save the world from mass destruction. It was a magical dream.
Now that I am a woman of a certain age, I am invisible. I can walk down the street without ever being noticed, and I attend meetings where nobody cates about my opinion. My advice: Be careful what you wish for.

Apropos to us women of a certain age. But there are plenty of old guys who can relate, if they are willing to admit it. Good to see generational diversity. Go Boomers!

She might be of a certain age but if she digs deep into the magic of childhood memories she might find her super powers.

Very clever and very relatable story! Well done! I've gained a few kilos at my 'certain age' and yet I'm even less visible :( Comments are closed.
