Talking How old!? :D

I went to my favourite club where I live and for the first time in 10 years, a bouncer asked me how old I was and wanted ID. One lass (girl) I spoke to inside the club swore that I was 21 which is quite a few years out! I'm 30 yrs old going on 21

I recently changed my hair style to something thats in between a mohican and a number 2 shaved head. I swear this has taken some age off me somehow!

I wonder if any of you have had a similar experience when going out?

I got a kid through my line last week who bought some 'Transformers' toys with his mom. He looked up at me and said, seriously,
"Do your kids like transformers?"
I replied, laughing,
"I don't have kids, i'm sixteen, ahaha!"
The mom was kind of embarassed. I was more so, in a freaky way.
That was akward.

They always think my little sister is older than I. She's 14, I'm 16. And many 13 year old girls like me because, according to many, I look like a 14 year old *sigh*
But they also say I have the mentality of a 20 year old, so I guess it compensates

I had to quit shaving my testicles cause the guys at work kept making comments on how young I looked. It was kinda creepy.

Most people usually get my age right. I'm 19. I think I look 19 in my pics. Except for that one with facial hair. Which apparently makes me look older.

The last college i attended i was a little aprehensive about revealing my age. i was now going to be the "old person" in class.

Needless to say all the young girls, most who are ten years younger than me, were shocked to learn how old i am. Apparently i look 21 instead 29.

i got carded a few weeks ago. By one of my best friend's mom, who owns the store and has known me for at least twelve years. That was kinda annoying.

I work at a restaurant and most the people I work with are a couple of years younger than me, but no one seems to think I'm older than them! Customers are always asking me what school I go to, which makes me laugh as I'm actually 23! A new girl stared at me in shock when I told her my age - she said "I thought you were like, 19 or something!" It doesn't really annoy me as I don't get carded much these days; in England you only have to be 16 to buy cigs and 18 for alcohol. A couple of years ago when I was 20/21 I got asked for ID for buying cigs, and I was in shock - they can't have thought I was 15!! It's a little strange... but if I always look a bit younger than I am I know I'll appreciate it when I'm older!

I usually get mistaken for a twenty year old.

Little do people know about my real age.

So how old are you, Demonista? I'm guessing... 18?

Woah! :-O
I have to say, you're a lot more stylish and mature than I was at 14! *grin* That's not meant to sound condescending at all; I'm just thinking back to my scruffy, grumpy 14-year-old self ;-)

I'm in the strange position that poeple think I look much younger then I am, but also think I am older then I am?! I'm 22, if people don't know me at all they tend to think I'm about 18, but people who only know me vaguely, or who i know really well but don't know my age tend to think I'm 25+ but just look very young for my age.

I'm not complaining about looking young though, i'll definitely appreciate it as i get older. I remember seeing a picture of my mum and me and my brother when were about 5 and 7, making her about 26, and she looked about 15! When I was at secondary school at about 12/13 my friends used to say my Dad was about 18, when he wasabout 37, so obviously i have good genes on my side! it is catching them a bit now though, but I blame that on my middle brother!

People mistake me for a highschool kid all the time. One of my dads friends actually asked me what grade I was in. I'm like.. "Um, I'm 21. I'm not in school." The shocked look on her face was sort of embarassing, honestly. Makes me think I should start dressing my age. But whats the fun in that?

Another weird thing that happened to me at work recently was when I was taking an order from a customer and a baby at a nearby table started crying - I jokingly said "uhoh, she's woken up!" and the woman asked in surprise "is that your baby?" I replied that she wasn't, and the woman laughed and said "well, you're much too young to have a baby aren't you?"

*puzzled look from me*

"Umm... yeah... So what would you like to drink?"

I'm 23 godamnit! *laugh*

Recently, someone asked if the kids with me were my children and she said that I dont look old enough to have a 5 yr old kid. I asked how old I looked, she said 23 - told her my true age and she was taken back.

Following that I told her she looked my age...."erm you what!?" she said as if I insulted her. I told her "You LOOK my age...the age you said I looked!". Got her laughing.

It seems some people take things far too literally sometimes eh?

I think the "young" genes run in the family, my grandparents looked at least 10 years younger than they did and my mum, when I went to boarding school, the boys were clamouring around me wondering who my sister was and little did they know at the time she's my mum! *laughs* They didnt believe me when I told them

People always think that I'm an 18-year old...even though I'm only 14.

I'm 15 but people mistake me for an 18 yr old. Woah, it feels great. I can get alcoholic drinks and cigarettes whenever I want without even being questioned,plus getting into clubs without a fake ID. ( Unfortunately, I don't drink, nor smoke and I don't party that much...Yes, I do not have a life:P)
