Prove it to me

There are several ways for one's confidence to receive a bit of a boost and one of those is a cashier thinking two 30-something women are just college girls and requesting to see proof of age.

You Could have fooled me.

HA HA! I'm just the opposite! The clerks usually see the kids trailing behind me and do not believe that I'm under thirty. Wait a minute..that's not funny, that's just sad!

You know, Kadi, we were without children. That must be the trick....

Rae, isn't that absolutely the best?!? I have been carded many times since turning 21, but none brought me as much unbridled joy as last year when, while out to dinner to celebrate my 35th birthday, I was carded by the waiter when I ordered a margarita. Here's to good genes!

I've been carded once, at Applebee's, about 3 years ago. But then the waiter told me it's a matter of policy, and all flattery ended there...

Alisha- it definitely is the best!

Eduardo, I have had similar experiences. Once, I was with a friend who mostly definitely appeared younger than I, and when the waitress requested her I.D., meaning well I am sure, she looked over at me and said, "I don't need yours. You look old enough." I knew in that exact moment, she had to be in her lower twenties herself. I confess to thinking rather satifactorily that perhaps now, years later, she remembers that moment each time she isn't carded.
