Sometimes I think I am starting to look my age, especially upon discovering a few grey hairs. Probably stress-related, but still; my family grays early.
But a few months ago, I was at a pizza restaurant with my family that has a buffet of pizza and pasta. They brought the check, and charged two adults and two children under twelve. I was 24, and my sister was 14 at the time. Both of us were mortified, but my mom was all, "No, no. We're getting the cheap buffet. Keep your mouths shut."
That was the first time I'd been mistaken for under 12 in the past few years, but I do get a lot of people at work thinking I just graduated high school and am 18.
