What's my age again?

[franceslievens]

Some people shouldn't be playing the "guess my age"-game. The following conversation occured yesterday evening, right after the singing exam.

Choir member: In what year are you again?
Me: L3, adults.
Choir member: So you're older than 18?
Me: I'm 26.
Choir member: Oh! I thought you were, like, in 5th or 6th grade of secondary school.

Oh yeah, I really don't look my age.

This morning someone asked me which school I was from when I was on a work-related external meeting. I'm 28... and trying to look like a professional marketing specialist. yeah, the impression I'm apparently making on the workfloor, is not the one I want it to be.

The guy with me thought it was hilarious and a compliment. *sarcasm*

I was not amused. I feel your pain.

Especially since I certainly look my age. The person saying that to me was not paying attention.

Thing is I've heard this one before and every time I think: "You need new glasses or what?"

No you don't, and I didn't either when I was 26.

Things have changed though. Make the most of it, Frances!

Oh honey, I look at least 20 and not 18. If only people would pay attention. But I think it's because I'm thin, and in your case because you are tiny, that people misjudge too easily.
