Menopause?

My second son had to go in to have his arm re-set.  It was a very painful experience, but it is now over and he is proudly showing off his lime green cast.

While we were in the waiting room, he was looking at a magazine I had brought.  It proudly ran an ad for some wrinkle cream and stated, "Menopause - they'd never know from your wrinkle free skin!"  He studied the ad for a minute, and asked me what it meant, because...  "Menopause means grey hair, right?  So why would people be looking at your wrinkles to see if you had grey hair?"

I told him menopause didn't mean grey hair, it only meant aging.... oh, the white lies we tell when we really don't want to explain all THAT in a public place!
