Becoming a "Dear"

12/17/2012

As I have told you before, I have become a “Miss.”  Well, today I also became a “Dear.”  When I called in my prescriptions this morning, I had difficulty keying in the numbers (thank you arthritis).  The phone call rolled over to the actual pharmacist.  I explained that I had entered a number improperly and the call had rolled over to him.  He very nicely took the numbers and said he would get them ready.  I asked him when they would be ready and he said in about an hour, “Dear.”

I have been told in the past that my voice sounds younger than I am, but I do not think he would have called me “Dear” if he thought I was a young woman.  I guess my prescriptions gave me away – perhaps, only older ladies get these types of prescriptions.  I haven’t been going there long enough for him to know me.

Even though I know these people think they are being courteous to me, I still shudder now when I go out – I am either “Miss Peggy” or “Dear.” 

Alas, they think I am OLD.
