Today at "Meet the Teachers" night at my daughter's elementary school I played the "single dad" because my wife is a teacher at the same school and had to be in her room for her students. All of the teachers and faculty know my 6 year old and 21month old son like they are celebrities because of my wife but I kept getting strange looks and wasn't getting the normal courtesy "how have you been". I don't think most of them recognized me as it had been a year since I had seen some of them.
Later on I was sitting in my Wife's chair behind her desk with my son on my lap texting and my wife had to step out. A mother and grandmother came in with their kid and I heard them say, "Oh here is Mrs. Jameson's room".... I kept on texting until I heard her say, "Oh and there is Mrs. Jameson" walking over to me. I then looked up and she stopped and said, ah, ah, ah I don't know why I thought you were Mrs. Jameson.... I looked at her and said, nope, not yet........ lol
The day before I went to make a deposit at the bank drive though and the teller asked me if I needed anything else, "Ms. Jameson".
Both times I was wearing a male fishing shirt and had a couple of days beard shadow. I even caught myself thinking a picture of me was of my mom for a second. Perhaps it is the HRT, or just the crummy camera they put in the new iPads..... lol
