"You look young, you sound young too"
"May or may not be such a good thing"This is something I have been told many times in my lifetime. It is a nice compliment when it is said in nice a way.
What isn't so nice is the mentality that if one appears young one must also be young in the head.
Sometimes it is a little funny to watch people as they do this. After they talk with me a little while they think to ask my age. When I answer I usually get a surprised look (lol I love this moment). The good part is that most of them begin adjusting their level (it is noticable)... at least they adjust
The younger people sometimes have a problem with the adjustment part
That's ok, I have learned the art of not giving them a choice."The young woman who called me girl"
I was on the phone trying to help my son get the title for his car from a car lot. The female on the phone was not nice to my son. I called her myself the next day. She tried to lie to me twice about what the DMV (Dept of Motor Vehicle) policies were. I simply said no and explain to her what they will do.
Then she got huffy and called me "girl"...
I didnt know whether to be mad or laugh (because only a b-word of a woman calls another woman they do not know a girl in such a manner in the first place). I asked her her age, she was 30, and then I laughed heartily...
I said "well I guess I will take that as a compliment seeing as I am 15 years older than you"(Oh how I wish I could have seen her face at that moment)
She was very nice after that. She even called me within a week letting me know that my son could come and pick up his title. My son smiled sheepishly at me because he didn't think I could get her to do it, "thanks Mom"

Her dog was probably sleeping behind the counter.

But I was 26 the last time I was refused entry into a pub. I had the same problem with age restrictions on movies. I always had to carry my ID with me. I remained young looking for a long time and then aged very fast.
Lol Ken.. that's cute
Lol Paul, maybe I will age fast too. Do you think I will catch up to you?
I was in Pensicola, Florida the day I turned 37. There were two ladies running the desk at a conveient store nearby. Each had their own cash register. I went to the one on the left because there was this guy with two cases of beer to the right. The woman asked me for my ID for cigarettes and I laughed and said I was probably older than her. She gave me a smile but her eyes said "yeah right". When she looked at my ID I smiled and said "how many years older am I" she smiled and said "4" and wished me a happy birthday. I told her thank you, that was a nice birthday present and gave her a beaming smile. She then told me that they have to card people who look near the age of 30. The man with the beer said "hey, I dont know how to feel about that. I am 30 and I didnt get carded". We all laughed.
