Walking home and this little old lady, easily in her 90s, made the person pushing her wheelchair cross the street to compliment me on my hat. She was shouting compliments the whole way.

“You there, young person! I love your hat, it is a most excellent hat!”

“Evelyn please put your oxygen mask back on!”

“But the hat!”

I got a high five when I told her I liked her hat, and then complimented her on her pink hair.

“Thank you!” she said, snatching it off but mercifully putting her oxygen mask back on while her friend/carer threw their hands up. “It’s a wig!”

@mademoisellesarcasme this will be you in old age
