How would you react?

Haha, I know this feeling only too well! I'm a 5' tall Asian, people guess me for 4 or 5 years (at least!) younger than I really am all the time.

The first time I went to a casino, I was 22. The security guard asked me for my ID, scanned it with one machine, looked at me, scanned another machine, looked at me again, and finally handed my ID back and said I could go through. You could just tell he didn't think I was really old enough! I wanted to say "I promise its not fake, I really am over 21!"

I suppose when you get older looking younger is a good thing but right now it kinda...sucks

Wow, really? I was going to say around 28 or so.

Things like that happen to me all of the time and I am 30 -30!!!! The other day I went to the Dollar General by our apartment to buy pepper spray. (I currently work in a hotel and when you are cleaning rooms by yourself you don't want to get cornered by a creepo without something to protect yourself.) Anyway, the girl at the counter snickered when I went to check out and said that I wasn't old enough. I whipped out my ID to show that I am indeed over 18 and she still didn't seem to believe me. Just today I was helping one of the other girls clean a room and she asked me how old I am and you should have seen her face when I told her. I find it all rather amusing...except for in the fall and spring when I student teach at my uni and the students think that I am their age and try to bribe good grades out of me with beer.

leave it to the students to do something crazy like that
