Today, I walked into a restaurant with my parents to celebrate my Mom's birthday. They immediately got a kid's menu and crayons out for me. I'm 15. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went out to dinner with my family. I was given a kids menu when the hostess sat us down. I'm 24. FML
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, my parents were supposed to take me out to eat for my birthday, but since their favorite child wasn't with us, I instead got a mini order of tots from Sonic as my birthday meal/present. FML
Today, my mother bought me Mickey Mouse shaped burgers for my dinner. I'm 19. FML
Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. FML
Today, I told my 15 year-old son that I was taking my wife to a fancy restaurant for her birthday, so he would be on his own tonight. Most teenagers would play video games, watch porn, and sneak a beer, which I would be okay with. He started crying and asked why he was "left out", then clung to my wife's leg. FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my mother, where the waiter complimented my "wife". I'm not 18, and she's over 40. FML
Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML
Today, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend and his mom. The hostess asked if I needed "the kid's menu," remarked how I look "so grown up for your age," and asked what grade I was in. I said I'm in university. She laughed as if it was the best joke ever told. I'm 22. FML

Don't feel bad, I'm 21 and get offered the childs ticket at movie theatres. The age cut off is 11 at our theatre. I'm not flat chested and dress like a normal 21 year old college student. I don't understand why I'm offered child menus and movie tickets, but whatever. At least we won't look our age when we are 40 and our peers are getting plastic surgery!! ;)

don't think of it as a bad thing. at least u can buy your movie tickets at a lower price! and when u get to be older, you'll look younger than you really are.

Kids at restaurants are usually considered 12 and under, so being given a kid's menu when you're 3 years older than that can be pretty frustrating. Also, I totally understand dude because the same thing happened to me when I was 15 and I was REALLY pissed.

Hey, I still get the children's menu and I'm 19. Do what I do and use the crayons to draw horrible diseases on the placemat characters.

Here's what you do...find a manager and say..."That guy/girl tried to touch me and whispered don't tell anyone in my ear"

It's okay, I'm almost 25, and when I went to go get a beer at an amusement park the other day I was almost denied (even though I had two id's) because they said I didn't look a day over 14. I was almost removed by police from a rated "R" movie as well for the same reason about a month ago.
