Will I always look 12?

I thought the chances of this happening once were slim to none, but twice in 8 days? I'm amazed.

I went into a 7-11 in Miss Shirley's part of the world today (although I didn't get a chance to see Miss Shirley--Happy Birthday!) to fill up on some semi-cheapy gas. I decided to go inside and get a Taquito because sadly, I really like them. As I was checking out, I looked down at the lotto tickets and decided to buy a $2 Bingo one (Pigpen won $5 on one recently whereas I got nothing). The guy actually asked to see ID! I was AMAZED. I know I look young, but do I really look 9 years younger than I am?!?!! Apparently I do look 18, b/c I was carded last Tuesday at the porn shop Pigpen and I visited (hell yes we did and I'm not ashamed). The guy came over as we walked in, asked for my ID but said Pigpen was ok and he didn't need to see his. Dammit, I'm 2 1/2 years older than Pigpen! Must be his facial hair. This was also after getting carded for the Long Island Iced Tea I bought at dinner (but when I'm not carded for alcohol, I'm usually amazed so that wasn't bizarre). But being carded for being 18 twice in a little over a week? I can't tell if I should be sad that I still look like I could be in high school when I'll be celebrating my 10th reunion next year or be flattered b/c when I'm 30, I'll look like I'm 21.

PS: The day before my wedding last month, when I walked into the salon (to get a french manicure), the stylist asked if I wanted an updo (without first asking why I was there). She thought I was there to get my hair done for prom that night, along with the other 5 girls who were already there getting one!!! (Honey, I'm getting married, the prom was a long time ago, back when I was barely not a virgin.) Then, one of those girls going to prom says she recognizes me from one of the crew races she was at in Philly, and she thinks its b/c I was a rower there, not because I pulled her team's trailer. Maybe I should wear makeup or do something to my hair--I look too young!

It isn't a bad thing...or even a good thing. It's just the way you look!

I was mistaken for an intern a couple of months ago (in a program where all the interns are juniors in college).
