As soon as I start feeling old...
I was at pizza lunch for Grosse Pointe North last Tuesday and was hanging out with some guys. I asked what grade they are in and found out they are freshman. One guy responded back to me by asking, "are you a sophomore?"
As in, a sophomore in high school.
Do I really look that young?
When is the day that being asked if you are younger than you really are becomes a compliment?
I don't know. For so long strangers thought I was at least 10 years younger than I am and would make comments about how young I had my children, or that my husband robbed the cradle or just not give me the respect they would give any other adult (because they thought I was still a kid). So I still like people to know how old I really am. I mean, I've learned and experienced so much through my 40 years of life I would like to be treated as such.

At least people don't think you're in 5th grade...

Just a pet peeve of mine....as you can see!
