Re: I have an idea! (format related, poll)

  • I'm late to the party, just wanted to say I'll enjoy listening in to SA Wednesday and the baby-related talk. Just listening, for now.

    And, for all those of you almost-30's-but-don't-look-it, I'm turning 29 soon and just got carded at a restaurant with my parents. Getting carded, I'm used to, but not the waitress LAUGHING when I ordered a beer and saying "Are you serious? You look 12!"

    I get that a lot.  Once, in college, I was home and went to the dollar store with my mom.  We were trying to solve some kind of weird problem around the house, and find something at the store that would work, and we were talking to the manager to see if he had anything that might work.  I tossed a couple ideas out, and he said, "Wow, you're pretty smart for a... what are you, a twelve year old?"  I wanted to melt into the floor, but not as much as when my mom said, "Would you believe she's a junior in college?"  I would have preferred to just let him continue in his ignorance.

  • One time, my brother and I were leaving to go to a movie and a door to door salesman approached us on the sidewalk.  As he was getting ready to move on, he said, "You're such a good big brother taking out your little sister.  Most kids don't get along with their siblings."  I was 20 and Clark was 12. 
  • Ouch! I'm glad I'm not the only one. People say it's a good thing to look young, but I'd prefer to be mistaken for 18 or 21. Not a preteen!
