Well, the good news is that you look young enough to be hanging out with teenagers and hip enough to look suspicious! If you looked like their mother, none of this would have happened!

They are holding everyone responsible now when bad things happen, stores included, if they sell beer to minors or someone who is obviously buying for a minor. Maybe they are too touchy, maybe they saw your brother helping to choose what kind to get... At any rate, it is a shame you couldn't have your lemonade... and my college parties would have been a real drag if we couldn't fool the stores anymore! What will kids DO these days? ;~D

Actually, I DO look like their mother, but not in the sense you meant. ;-)

Yeah, I guess I should be happy...but for right now, I don't LIKE looking young. It's a sore subject with me...sometimes I feel like I should get a bunch of t-shirts with my birth date on them so people take me seriously. I'm CONSTANTLY getting treated like a dope, and end up trying desperately to work my age into conversations when with adults (especially people my own age who ignore me because they think I'm a highschool kid!) Sad, I know!

Maybe I DO have hobbit blood? I'm still a youngster in their world! ;-)

We frequently go to an Oriental buffet on Sundays after church. It's quick and cheap. They have a make your own stir-fry bar. You put in the raw meats and veggies and they cook it.

Sunday, my wife stopped a woman from putting raw chicken on her plate.

When she sat back down my wife said, "I wouldn't have been so nice to her if I had know she was going to ask me if I was here with my grandchildren..."

For the record, my wife looks much younger than me (and I'm not just saying that. she'll never read this anyway, it's really true).
