I Look HOW Old?

[tracy]

The other day a regular customer was commenting on the music I had playing on the radio....I switch off the country when the boss leaves and turn on the oldies. Well,he said that even though he was about 20 years younger than me he really appreciated the music. I asked him how old he was and he said 40....after the look on my face he hesitantly asked how old I was and I said 47. He stumbled around apologizing,saying he thought I was in my 60s since I didn't color my hair and it was solid grey....women grey early in my family. I felt pretty down when he left because my grey had never bothered me before. I guess that makes me a wuss because now it's back to my natural brown.

Someone once said I looked 23.

Ouch, we wewre at walmart with the girls... 18 monthe and 4, and the checker asked if they were havinga good time with Grandma.  Then my wife 39 (with admirable self control said) "No" the genius checker said "Great Aunt? Aunt?"
I had to pull her away before blood was spilled.

My wife is 10 years older than me.  About 15 years ago, we were out shopping for a car.  We were sitting at the salesman's desk and his manager came over.  The salesman introduced my wife and me to his manager as, "Joe and his mom."  We didn't buy a car from that guy.

I'm 43 but up until recently I still got carded semi-regularly.  Most people assume I'm in my 30s, but the gray hair has helped.  

When a woman asks you how old you think she is it's a trap.  I always guess what age I think she is and answer with the ninth year of the previous decade: if I think she's in her 40s I answer 39, if I think she's in her 30s I answer 29, and so on.

Where were you with this advice a decade ago, I could have USED it then...

I'm 4 months from my 28th birthday.

I'm oftentimes mistaken to be around the 17-19 range. At a cousin's birthday over the weekend, a friend's father said "You're sneaking a beer? You're mom know you have that?"

I tried convincing him of my age but didn't believe it til I popped out my ID. Same thing happened on vacation.

but the gray hair has helped.   

Yeah, that little bit of gray "helps" me too. 

I used to get carded for cigarettes, up until about 10 years ago.  So apparently that means I look to be about 28   

Well actually, I think they card just about everybody who can walk into the store without assistance.

I don't give serious answers if asked that.  I'll say something like, "807?  Five?  Oh!  I know!  Somewhere in between!"

People tend to think I'm about 10 years younger than I am. Which is cool.  Kinda odd though.  When I was younger, people thought I was older.  Now that I'm older, people think I'm younger. 

[Mofo Rising]

I've always looked younger than I am. Not so much these days, because I have gray hairs and am visibly balding.

It amused me when I was younger than 21, because I would always buy alcohol, which is illegal in the U.S if you're not 21. I never got carded if I hadn't shaved. Once I shaved though, I would always be asked for ID.

[Mr. DS]

Nowadays people kind of guess my age correctly.

This guy is a customer? I say work it. Milk that little faux pas for all it's worth.

LOL...I thought about that but my sister and I have to keep being all smiles. Doesn't seem to matter how rude our boss is....and believe me the customers let us know when he is.

My nephew (15) just recently told me I look 30.  (I'm 60).  Lying does have its advantages.   The kid can come and visit any time   

[WildHoosier09]

t a wedding once I was sitting next to my then girlfriend and a man came up and asked her if I was her father. People who saw us together often thought I was a pedofile because I (for some reason) look ancient and she permanently looks 12 despite the fact she is 8 months older than me. We don't get this too much these days since now we have kids hanging off of us.
