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

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 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

It's better to look younger than you are rather than older.

Agreed.

I agree but my younger sister looks older than me and it drives me crazy.

This was so obviously her evil way of pointing out that you're immature and that your boyfriend is too good for you. That way, she can accidentally fall on his lap and it'll be love at first sight.

I will take some crayons though.

I can imagine. I will not sit here and be patronised by a complete stranger. Please, inform your manager I wish to speak to him and on the way I'll take the free crayons and the toy. Thank you very much.

You should take that as a compliment. Lots of people dream to look young. :)

Not at 22. Then when she's carded, they will think its a fake ID and not serve her although she's legal. Happened to me and I was absolutely pissed off.

My mom is thirty five, and I am seventeen. People always confuse us for sisters in our early twenties. My genes make you look twenty when you're young, and older. Win. ;) Congratulations on good genes!

I'm right there with you. I'm 22 as well and I am constantly being asked what high school I go to and I'm like bitch, I'm a nurse already.

24- My wife's a 28 yr old nurse, but the combination of being 4'11", with a young face gets her carded anytime she wants to get us a bottle of wine or whatever. ;) Never ceases to make me laugh!
