Are you the homeowner or the daughter?

This is the question I was asked as I was about to leave for work this morning...

Our lawn service was out to take a look at a few spots in the grass and the guy came up to me as I opened the garage door and asked me that.  I laughed and said "I am the homeowner" and he said "Wow, you are young".  And then we proceeded to talk about the grass for 10 minutes. 

The funny thing about it is that I normally get mad when people think I look younger than I am (I'll be 29 in less than 6 months) and today, I was actually flattered!  I guess there does come a point when you want to look younger than you really are...apparently today was my turning point, lol.  Thanks lawn service guy, thanks.

  • Nice!

    People always think I'm the younger sister and I'm pretty sure people question whether or not I'm David's mom or baby sitter.

  • What a great way to start your day!!

    I've always been told I look younger than I am until recently, now I get all excited when I carded in the store, mostly by young high school kids, but I'll take it.

    Funny side story:  I was on a date with my boyfriend when I was 16, we were at TGI Fridays and there was a family behind us, the girl who was taking us to our seat turned and asked my boyfirend if I needed a kids menu, I guess she thought we were part of the family, yet she only had 2 place settings in her hand...yeah I was PISSED, he laughed so hard, we were the same age but he looked older than me.

  • That is a good way to start your day.  For the first time EVER I wasn't carded at the grocery store last week.  It kind of made me sad.
  • When I was about 23 I answered the door to a Jehovahs Witness. He asked if my parents were home and I said no and shut the door (I lived alone in my own apt) And French I know what you mean about not being carded. It is starting to slow down for me. I know I am 30 so I shouldlook old enough but,  I will still give the waitress an extra couple of dollars if she cards me!
