Oooh … I am so envious that you had a good comeback comment to the former teacher. (When a similar comment was made to me, I did not!) By the way, I have a granny trolley too but we call them push carts here in my area of the US. Mine does not match my shoes.
It’s funny; I would rather be called fat, fertile and forty-something too. I actually look younger than my skinny little sisters because fat fills in the wrinkles. Fat is the natural Botox.

People should be taught in school that you NEVER say, ‘you look like you’ve put on weight’ and instead taught to say, ‘gee you look well’. But really, do we need to be taught how to be nice? Isn’t it just common sense?

Hehe, Unfortunately I seem to have plenty of those stories 🙂 Plus every time I go to any of my nana’s places they all tell me I have put on a little weight. Never lost any just added some. By this logic I have crept on about 50kgs over the last 20 years!

Love the story made me laugh.

My hubby still teases me about my granny trolley but I love it! Especially when unpacking the groceries. I lift it out of the car and wheel it inside, so easy.

Plus my little 4 year old usually wheels it around the shops for me leaving me free to hold her hand and collect the items 🙂

I just turned 40, people often think that the pouch left from my two children in the place of my tummy is actually hiding a third one in there and I have a granny trolley and love it. So there! I guess I haven’t been mistaken for a granny yet but it is probably just because in Italy women start having kids late. Really late.

It was a great review. Very favourable. And the name of your blog was mentioned many times. Shame you missed it but I think it’s on Life is Like a Cupcake under blog review.
