"Is he your child? But you look so young!"

Young? I am already 27 and I am certain that I don't look younger my age. Yet, I have strangers asking me if Joshie is my son. Doesn't he look like my son? I know he resembles hubby a lot (some people even say he's a photocopy of hubby) but don't I look like the mother?

Last month, I received this comment 4 times, in just a span of 10 days. Strangers whom I brushed shoulders with at the car park/shopping mall/market/gym seem surprised that he is my son and they are even more surprised upon learning that i take care of him full time. 2 weeks ago, someone asked if I am even 22 years old! And yesterday, the trainer at the gym says I look like a student instead of a mother. Gosh!

I guess we are at a age where marrying and having kids after 30 is the norm. That's why people are surprised that Joshie is my child.
