an "amberdent"

When I used to teach school my fellow teachers would call all of my mishaps amberdents instead of accidents (yes it happened THAT much!) When I was buying some fabric the other day a sweet little lady was cutting it for me. She said "You are so cute" I replied thank you and she then asked "how old are you sweetie?" I replied with a smile I am thirty.......one......" it was during my last answer that I realized she was talking to my sweet little Livia who was standing next to me. I forget that first of all it is just not about me anymore and second of all I really am just not that cute anymore either. I was so embarrassed. She just laughed and said "well, you are cute too honey!"
