So is my wife an old lady or a teenager?

Sign in to disble this ad
My wife is 45 and last week, in a span of less than 24 hours, got braces put on her teeth and also picked up her first pair of prescription reading glasses from our eye doctor.

The strangeness of that just hit me now. How bizarre of a one-two punch is that?!?!

Not really at all Dave.
She probably wants her teeth to look nice.

I had to get tri-focals a few years ago. It's just a fact of aging.

She sounds very normal to me. In fact, her trying to look nice is a sign that she cares about her looks....a good thing.
Cheers, Dave

45=not a teenager
Wife=*your* old lady(hippie-talk for GF/spouse)- you might not want to call her that, though
Everyone in my family has glasses; at 44 I got my first pair; I was amused.

Just think of the exciting new role-playing oppertunities available to you now!

And +1 to not calling her "old lady" no matter what!!!

I'd skip the Old Lady talk as well before your "old lady" is seen using her new improved eyesite to google "What is the best way to cut a brake line?"

+1 for taking care of her looks and caring.

Calling her an "old lady" is a good way to get yourself hurt and/or spend a few nights on the couch.

Playing up the "teenager" angle, however, might be fun and exciting for both of you.

In radio talk, she's an 'ex-young lady or XYL.

When you think about it-being around your wife is kind-of-like being on an adventure!

Right now, I'm thinking about a lovely woman in a library with pigtails and horn rimmed glasses - and this poster behind her desk:

Braces could play nicely for a couple of teenagers experimenting in a back seat fantasy. Although, if your not careful you might hurt yourself.

EDIT: Batgirl was smoking hot.

Pfffft...

You know the rules.

Posting a thread asking people to figure out if your wife is
'hawt' doesn't work without the requisite pics of said lady
with her glasses on. Whatever else she wears is optional,
but this is a PG site.

So, I can't comment without a pic or two a la Mikebass whose
wife smoked the site. My monitor has a burn mark on the side
from her pic. Just sayin' ...

Braces at 45 are a sign of trendy pretense, or the ability to financially afford it. Glasses are a fact of life for many people.
Old Lady....who cares, a nation of whimps worries about someone elses relationship through the eyes of PC views. If your wife has no problem with it, then continue, if she does, duck!

What Thor said.

45 is a number or a small vinyl recording with a big hole in the middle. On some women that number means way old, but on others it means still sizzlin'. It depends on attitude more than anything, I think.
