Ew. You look like a grown-up!
On the flip side, we had a new intern in the office last week, and everyone was asking where she goes to college, but no -- she's about to be a freshman in high school.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Wasn't it though? She looked like an emu sucking on a lemon.

K-Bug has gotten questions asking if she was both years older and years younger than her actual age.
I think the most craxy was when CJ's 4th grade teacher assumed she was "mom". Uhhhh, they are only 6 years apart. Geeeesh. (Yes, this was the teacher we ended up having a horrible time with).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
People thinking I'm a teenager actually happens pretty often. When I went with my dad to see one of the LotR movies, when I was about 20 or 21, we got to the ticket counter and he asked for two tickets, and the cashier asked, "Is that one adult and one child?" The "child" age limit was 13!

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I just shot wine out of my nose. BWAH-HAHAHAHA!

Well, you are short, I can see it at a glance -- like when I had a man's winter coat, and wore jeans, people often called me "sir" before looking all the way up. I presented a man's silhouette, if you weren't looking closely. But it's not that hard to look more closely!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Any theories on why socks would be sold in a re-sealable plastic bag?

Yeah, at the movie theater, the guy could really only see me from the neck up. At the beach, though, I was wearing a bathing suit.

I got asked about "my son" by a grocery clerk when I was 21 out with a clear 11 year old I nannied (and a 8 and 7 year old.) I started laughing so hard, the kids had to pick me up off the floor.
I've been carded as recently as this year.
What I take from it? People have a helluva time judging ages. Hell, I can't. Some new employees look like babies to me, so I assume mid-20s and don't say a damned thing. Right now, I don't know what a 33 year old is supposed to look like. And I am one.
