Gettin old...older...older...

I age well apparently. I've always known I looked young,
but I never believed to look that young. Today I answered
the door and was greeted by a volunteer who was soliciting
for a charitable organization. He took one look at me and
asked me if my "mom and dad" were home so he could talk to
them about donating money. I would understand why he might
say something like that, if I had a pacifier in my mouth
and a GI Joe shirt, but I didn't. I was wearing jeans and a
t-shirt and he asked me for my mom and dad. I'm freaking 20
for goodness sake. I think that I can donate money if I
wanted to; I'm certainly old enough to. I don't look that
young, really I don't. I don't get carded at the liquor
store that much (when im buying cigarettes.. for my dad).
The last few times I didn't, but every now and then
somebody will request that I produce ID. But then I look at
other people who are close to my age and I often remark to
myself that they haven't aged well at all. I'm very bad at
estimating a person's age. I typically overage a person.
Somebody who was 31 looked 45 and I said, "you're in your
40s?" I can understand how that can be insulting as my age
is always guessed wrong, but I find it really hard to
believe that some people just look so old. . Oh the burden
of looking young and being tall. When will I ever look my
age??
