Do you look your age?
I know, I know, I should be thankful that I look younger than I am, but sometimes it gets annoying.
I was in Costco with a friend on Sun and we shared a cart. She was buying beer but I went first and told the guy the beer wasn't mine and he said "Yeah, it can't be yours, you're a teenager." Argh, I'm not!!!!! I even pulled out my ID to prove it! I know I look 16 but I'm starting to think that people are going to assume DH and I are teen parents and I don't want that! He doesn't look his age either and already passes for a high school intern at work!
I try to look at it from the perspective that when I'm 35 I'll hopefully look 25 but I can't tell you the amount of times I've been carded and people really have to study my ID. Oh, and I sometimes get carded for R rated movies!!!!
Re: Do you look your age?
I have been told that I look 18 which is annoying now but I look at my mom and she does not look like she is in her 50's so I am hoping I take after that gene.
and i have to be honest you and arek both look so young!
Thank God I don't look my age!!!! I definitely know how annoying it is to have people comment on how young you look in certain situations. I hated it when parents at school would comment (during Parent/Teacher Conferences) that they thought I was a high school student. What 26 year old wants to be told that they look like a 16 year old??
However...I will admit...now that I'm 31, I like the fact that I look younger than I am. I haven't had anyone mistake me for a teenager in awhile, but I know that people have been shocked to learn that I'm not in my early-to-mid-20s. And that's really nice.

at my temp job last oct/nov the pres of the company asked if i was here on guam with my parents... ummmmmmm.
most say i look younger than i am. but even when i say "i'm 24" they still say "you're such a baby!" so i'm really excited to be 25 this year! i want to feel older and i think 25 is a good age. then i will want to stay 25
