  We got a question in for our American mama. Dear mama, do you
• 0:03
  get tired of people saying you look good for your age? Well, let's
• 0:07
  ask our American mama, Mama, mama, and joining us now our American
• 0:23
  mama Terry Netterville. Um. Okay, first of all, it is true
• 0:28
  you look good for your age, thank you. You also just look good
• 0:33
  period, you're an attractive person. Okay, But Jennifer Aniston was recently on
• 0:38
  a show and she said like this, she've caused this a backhanded compliment.
• 0:42
  Saying to a woman you look good for your age drives her crazes. It
• 0:49
  does it annoy you too? No? I mean I think that you know,
• 0:54
  when you feel like someone's compliment is coming from a place of pure intentions
• 0:58
  and they're they're true trying to make you feel good. I don't ever take
• 1:03
  that in the negle it. I see what she's saying. She's saying her
• 1:07
  point is this drives her crazy because they should stop at you look good.
• 1:11
  Yes, she doesn't want to hear for your age, because that's basically saying,
• 1:17
  but you know, you look good, but if you were ten years
• 1:19
  younger, you wouldn't look so good. You know, gosh, yeah,
• 1:23
  that's kind of how she's taking it. But when you're I mean to me,
• 1:29
  compliments are not I mean, they don't come often, you know,
• 1:34
  especially the women my age. And so if someone says, hey, Terry,
• 1:38
  you look good for your age, I take it as the highest comple
• 1:41
  I'm so appreciative of it because there are times when you know, I'm my
• 1:45
  age, I'm fifty two and going through the Kroger check outline. I had
• 1:51
  some I had a bunch of candy, I had some candy balls. I
• 1:53
  wanted to feel, and I had some company coming. And so when she's
• 1:57
  she's checking out, she goes, oh, my gosh, you must have
• 2:00
  the grandchildren this weekend. Yeah, huh, I do. Clearly, No,
• 2:07
  my son's getting I had a grandchildren, but I got it that,
• 2:10
  you know, I am at the age where I you know, grandmothers are
• 2:15
  this age too. Sure, So I kind of laughed about it, and
• 2:17
  then I joked with my family about it, and they thought that was hilarious.
• 2:22
  And then they started to remind me of all these other times when I
• 2:23
  was at Brookshirts one time and the the this man was kind of following me
• 2:30
  throughout the My shopping spray. I was like, what in the world,
• 2:32
  And he said are you This is a couple of years ago, and apparently
• 2:35
  Barbara Eden was a daggers. Are you Barbara Eden? I said, Barbara
• 2:39
  Eden, like I dream of Jeanie, like like she's seventy something. Yeah,
• 2:45
  and um, he goes, You're not. I said no, I
• 2:49
  said you mean and the cashier said, well, you do kind of look
• 2:53
  like her. I said, what, I've never heard this, moll I
• 2:54
  don't look like her. I said, do you mean like when she was
• 2:57
  in the bottle or like now? And then cashier said, she said,
• 3:01
  well, she has had a lot of work done. I'm like wow.
• 3:06
  I died laughing. I told them I was going to literally go and just
• 3:10
  put my head in the pool and drown myself. But honest to God,
• 3:15
  that was It's one of those things that when those things happen, it keeps
• 3:19
  you humble. Yeah, just like if one of your kids says, hey,
• 3:22
  what's that hanging from your chin? You realize, oh my god,
• 3:23
  where that whisker come from? What the heck has happening? Yeah, Okay,
• 3:28
  here's another part of this interview that Jennifer Andiston said that I really do
• 3:30
  think, though I thought it was pretty interesting. She says that at her
• 3:35
  age now, she actually feels better. She feels stronger, she's more confident,
• 3:39
  she feels like she knows more, she's sharper, she's better. She's
• 3:44
  a better version of Jennifer Aniston today than she was twenty years ago. What
• 3:50
  do you think about that? I love that. I love that I did
• 3:53
  read that. And you know, honestly, confidence is beautiful when you're comfortable
• 3:58
  in your own skin. And I I have said this to my children,
• 4:01
  especially my boys, when they were dating, when you know, just looking,
• 4:04
  you know, dating around or whatever. I would say, the most
• 4:08
  beautiful girl is going to be the most confident one. She might when you
• 4:12
  first look at her, she may not be the beautiful, most beautiful girl
• 4:14
  in the room. But when she exudes confidence and she's comfortable her own skin,
• 4:18
  comfortable giving other people compliments, and she's funny, she can take herself
• 4:23
  lightly, you're gonna find her to be one of the most beautiful. I
• 4:26
  said that is I feel like that is what your daddy found because I wasn't
• 4:30
  the most beautiful, I wasn't the smartest, but what I had that he
• 4:34
  was attracted to I was confident. I laughed easily. I'm funny, self
• 4:39
  assured and easy. Yes, and I don't and it doesn't bother me that
• 4:43
  I'm not the prettiest girl in the room. And there's a difference between confidence
• 4:46
  and arrogance, yes, oh for sure. Right. People get a lot
• 4:48
  of that confused, like oh you know that that how confident? All you're
• 4:51
  just so no, no, no, no. Real confidence actually I think
• 4:54
  includes humility. Yeah, and you're okay being humble, right, And you
• 4:57
  know, it's even more beautiful than confidence, holy confidence. When you find
• 5:01
  a woman who has that holy confidence, and not only she comfortable her own
• 5:05
  skin, she knows that her purpose in life comes from God and that is
• 5:09
  the center of her world. She is elevated like she illuminates a room,
• 5:15
  and that is beautiful to me. There are some people that I would say,
• 5:17
  if you're looking at a lineup of women and I know their personalities,
• 5:21
  I might it might be the most plain jane looking one, but she's got
• 5:26
  those sparkles in her eyes and she's got I know her So it's like a
• 5:29
  holy confidence about her. And I think that is a that's a beautiful woman,
• 5:32
  yea. And it just kind of existes. It's kind of like the
• 5:34
  opposite when you have someone that's beautiful, yet they are a gossip, or
• 5:41
  they tear out the people down, or they they're so vain that they can't
• 5:44
  even walk out of the house. They're after a while, they're actually not
• 5:47
  pretty anymore, right, You know what I'm saying? At any age?
