Reason #19

I look like I'm 14.  At least that's what I was told most recently.
I went to my cousin Matt's graduation party, and my brother (Luke Alan) and  I were sitting and talking with Uncle Bob, and his sisters. We were chit chating, making all the usual small talk, and they asked us how old we were. I told them that I was 20, which I am btw, and they looked at me like I was the worst liar they had ever seen. Then promptly tried to call me out on it. They finally believed me when I offered to show them my drivers license. I asked them how old they thought I was, and they said if they were being generous, they would say I was 14. At least it's a step up from when I was told I looked like I was 12, not that it's much better, but every little bit counts I guess. On a side note, they guessed Luke Alan's age of 17 right off. So they aren't just really bad guessers of age (age guessers? at guessing ages?)

Now every time I see a cute guy look at me then look away I want to yell after him "WAIT! I promise I'm not 14! I am legal! I really really am!" ...? Probably a little too melodramatic, right? And maybe a little too creepy, I guess we'll just have to see how fed up I get with people thinking I'm a preteen/young teen this summer.
