I went to a couple of open houses this weekend to look for a new home for my family, and took my 15-year old daughter along. All the real estate agents thought we were husband and wife. And not just the agents. Only an elderly couple we met a a garage sale dared to inquire how much we differ. (it's 26 years). The husband seemed quite pleased with the idea of a 26 years younger wife. His wife less so. They all must have been thinking that I am much younger than I really am, or they think that it's totally OK to marry a girl who's young enough to be your own child, and they won't raise an eybrow at the idea. That's odd, because most real estate agents appear to be women in my demographic who aren't very likely to approve of men marrying 20 year younger women.
