Was upgraded this afternoon
-
A Mayo medical professional made the call. She looked at my health chart and at hubby's, then slowly turned toward me and said, 'You're a cougar."
I was about to tell her which high school mascot we had in our city, but she then also noted that my hubby is younger than I am. "You're a cougar!"
I'm no longer just a cradle robber. I've been upgraded to cougar status.

@Mik Thank you! You are a man of good taste, so your opinion matters more than some others we won't name.
Most importantly, my hubby is also a man of good taste, and with 40 years of marriage, and an additional 4 years beforehand, he still thinks it's good to be with his older woman.
Funny/sad story: When hubby's dad was in the hospital for the last time with esophageal cancer, I called to ask for my hubby. I couldn't be there because we didn't know it would be the end, and I had bronchitis that FIL definitely didn't need.
I was so surprised that FIL answered the phone, and after we had talked, I asked him if "my man" was there to take a call. FIL handed the phone to my husband, and hubby asked him, "Is that my woman?"
Despite how ill he was, FIL laughed so hard he had trouble breathing, and he said, "My man ... my woman!"
I'm so glad we gave him something to laugh about during his last days. That's one of my favorite things about my FIL. He would laugh so hard he could barely talk. He would laugh until tears came from his eyes.
Sometime I'll share the first time I met my future FIL, and how I knew his son was worth a shot at a long term relationship. That's a story for another time.

Some of us get better looking with age. Iām happy for you that you are one of us, Brenda.
