i'm 24 and 5'0, i get this alllll the time. usually when i open my mouth to speak, people realize i'm actually an adult, but the way i dress/look doesn't really help since as a trans person i don't present myself in a mature feminine way... i end up just looking like a young boy with the way i dress.

i got carded like, 5 times in the same hour the last time i was in vegas LOL

I don't recall ever lying about my age. I remember a lot of girls would meet guys at the mall when we were like 14ish, and they would say they were like 16ish because they would flirt with older guys. But I never liked older guys, so I didn't lie.

I feel like everyone thought I was 14 up until I was like 25. And, past that, I think everyone thinks I'm like 50 now lol (I'm 35). For example, a guy once asked me if my kids are grown and moved out.... I don't have kids, but if I did they would not be grown and moved out!

The one that is funniest to me is when you forget how old you are (because honestly most of the time it never comes up) and then you lie ACCIDENTALLY when someone asks you, because you've forgotten. I don't know why that amuses me so much, but it really does.

I figure, I'll start paying close attention when I get nearer to an age I consider actually impressive.
I'm going to be an AMAZING centenarian!
I might need a little help from the youngsters in my family to stay stylish, but you know those old ladies you see sometimes, with rainbow nail-polish and who show off their super white hair with a barrette that looks like a tube of "whitening!" tooth-paste? The ones who draw a smiley-face on one of their eyelids with a makeup pencil so their winks show a winking face? And who have hilariously pithy sayings hand-embroidered onto their sweaters, instead of printed on t-shirts? Who wear aprons even if they're stuck in a wheelchair and who keep things like a small bottle of bubbles in their apron-pockets?

That sort of little old lady?

I'm going to be one of THOSE.

>XD awwww

I already feel old sometimes because I am so late to certain things.
I don't know a lot of popular people, especially on Youtube and actors/actresses.

Eh, you know what Youtube is, that sounds plenty modern to me.

Can you do it on purpose when you're not on the phone? Just stand around the the edge of a doorway out of sight and pitch your voice like your sister's and see how long you can confuse someone?
