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!
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
She looked like an emu sucking on a lemon.
I just shot wine out of my nose. BWAH-HAHAHAHA!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

not your mom's socks.
sneaking into Natter to see if anyone else went WTF with the US announcer's comment "it's like finding a tear in your wedding dress just before you get married" about Samantha Peszek's sprained ankle just before the competition.
oooo. Swimming.
