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?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

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.
