Flattery will get you everywhere

I was at a pre-dinner networking hour during a big industry show in Chicago Monday night and responded to a questioner that I have been working for Hormel for almost 10 years.  The 50-something gentleman from Colgate remarked that I must have started when I was 11.  I shook his hand most gratefully.  

It seems less and less often that people think I look young.  I guess that happens as you get older.

That's what happens when you get over 50.

Everyone I meet think you are the oldest and I would hate to point out they are wrong, so I never do. I enjoy being thought of as one of the younger girls in the family.
