Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number

So, all my life I've been short and I think that has played into why people have always thought that I was younger than I really am. I wouldn't say I have an old face either, but now that is starting to fade.

I used to always get people looking at me funny, then asking how old I was and being surprised when I say an age higher than what they were thinking. Those days are starting to fade away. Now when people look at me and ask how old I am, and I tell them to guess, they usually say "Mmmm, 26?" And I say "Oh.....Yes, actually." And it kinda makes me sad. I buy drinks with my ID out, and they say "Oh, that's ok - no need." They don't even look at it anymore :( Even the old perverted man down the hall who always says I'm cute like a high school cheerleader told me that I'm starting to look more grown up! Not you too Mr. Pedophile! I don't have any plans on trying to make myself look younger, and I'm ok with being 26 - but dang, it was like all of a sudden I went from looking 18 to looking my real age. What happened? What I do? DO I have wrinkles? Maybe these gray hairs aren't as cute as I thought.

Well, I'm still a young vibrant thing, no matter what they said. You're only as old as you feel - and I feel great - like a great 26 year old fabulous woman!
