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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 had dinner at a local fast-food joint. There's an employee there that I usually talk to and flirt with, so I thought maybe it was time to ask for her number. After a small conversation and almost getting to the point, she told me, "I'm 17." I'm 23. 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, I met and asked a cute girl out on a date. We decided to meet at a fancy restaurant downtown. When I got there I saw her sitting with what turned out to be her parents. They made a huge scene, calling me a pedophile and a low-life. Apparently, the girl was 16 years-old. I'm 25. FML
Today, a customer complimented me on how good I looked for my age. She thought I was in my forties. I'm 18. FML
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
Today, I went out to dinner with my mom and several of her friends. My mom spent the entire night gushing about my Ivy League school and med student boyfriend. I attend a state university and I'm single. She threatened to cut me off if I didn't play along. FML
Today, I went out with my mom to a restaurant. We were sitting down to eat, and a waitress walks over to our table and asks, "How are you ladies doing tonight?" It really was a nice thing to ask, for my mom. As for me, being a man, not so much. FML
Today, I was eating lunch at McDonald's when an older man sat down at the table next to me and told me I was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. I'm a 20 year old man. FML

You're Asian, right? I will tell you a true story. A few years ago at a football game at Aloha Stadium, I sent my wife (she's Korean) to buy me a beer. The guy selling the beer asked for her ID, she was 55 at the time. I swear it's a true story. She was mad too, but at the same time was complimented too.

My husband is 23 but continually is mistaken for 13-16. It is rather annoying when inconsiderate people blurry out oh is that your son? I look older he looks younger....

"I'm in university." Yeah, I'd laugh too.

I understand your pain. It's annoying. Not too long long ago a cashier asked me at checkout if I was old enough to be shopping by myself. I'm 24.

Weirdly enough, I've been mistaken both for being older than my age and younger (though younger far more often). Recently, I was carded at WalMart for buying an R-rated movie. Ironically enough, the movie was Superbad, which has that whole subplot about fake IDs and getting carded. On the other hand, I was volunteering at Special Olympics awhile back and someone asked if I was the mother of one of the teenagers.

Do people in the United States really call it university or am I the weird one for saying college?
