An age thing

[Katie]

I was laughing so hard after I left the store I had to share


I suppose when I am older and people age me down it will be a treat and compliment...but now, it still kinda surprises me. I'm not OLD, but it's been a couple minutes since i was in high school...and I am legal to drink and all that stuff. I get a chuckle now and again when a waitress cards me..though since turning 21 the rush of being carded has disappeared. Now it's just kinda an inconvenience.

Imagine my surprise when this morning I went grocery shopping and, while Iwas there I picked up a DVD of a movie on my list of "Movies I must own". The store has one of those self check out lanes and I go through those normally. I scanned my movie as my last item and the computer wanted an override...fine. I was not even thinking that this was an R rated movie..I have not thought about that in years....and here i must tell you that I normally do not bring my ID in stores. The lady came over, looked at the movie and looked at me and said...I can't sell this to you. Whaaat?

I asked her why and she said I was not old enough to buy it. My mouth hit the floor. Oh god, lady..I thought. I told her I'd be right back and went out to my car to get my ID. She thought it was fake...I kept on laughing. Her manager came over and held it up and finally ran it under an ultraviolet scanner thing that can tell a fake from a real one....It was SO funny!

I know I look alot younger than I am...but after all was said and done and I asked her how old she thought i was at first and she said 15...I've never passed that many years before! Man I will never forget that as long as I live
