I wnet shopping to Walmart with my mother-in-law yesterday. I don't usually like going out shpping this close to Christmas, but she doesn't like shopping alone and plus she needed my opinion about the presents she was going to buy for my sister-in-laws husabnd. Anyway, she ended up buyin some stuff for him to take hunting.
One of these items was a butcher set that included several knives and a meat clever. We decided to do self check out. She is one of those people who isn't really keen on change (especially the self check outs), so I scanned the items for her. After I scanned the butcher set, something came up on the screen that ssaid cashier approval needed.
When the cashier came up to me she said she needed to see my i.d. Apparently if you look under the age of 16, you can't purchase knives like this. I guess that isn't so bad. The only problem with that is that I am two monthes shy of turning 27.
I have always looked younger than my age. This is not the first time someone has thought that I am much younger than my age. I guess I should be happy that I look younger than my age , but I have always wanted to look older. What do you gys think?

People make comments "babies having babies" when they see me and my kids!
I get asked if my parents are home!
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite, though, happened this past Labor Day weekend. I took Raegan to the mall to look around, and we stopped in Bath & Body Works. She came up to me and said, "Hey, mom, smell this!"
A saleswoman walked over to me, and she was probably only 21 or 22ish, and she kind of leaned in, and said, "Did she just call you mom? Oh my god, I thought you were sisters!"
I figure, take it while you can, because in 10 years, we'll all be bemoaning the fact that we look old, and that we don't get carded anymore.
Leah- it's illegal in the states to NOT card someone who appears to be under 27 years of age for cigarettes or alcohol, because so many teens these days look older than they are with all their hair and makeup and fake tans and what not.
I know it's frustrating, but it pays off when you get older! I can't wait until I turn 6o!
Trust me Courtney, the longer you get asked for your ID the better. Just keep telling yourself ! yessss I still look young. cuz one day you won't and you'll miss them asking. They asked me for ID until I turned 35, then suddenly I felt old when they stopped asking.
It is a hassle sometimes, though... can really hold up a line.
But think about this, if this is the logic you're going by. When you're 50, you'll look like you're, what, 35? Do you know how many of us bitches would kill for those kind of looks? Get over yourself already and be happy and glad about it!
I've been thought to be anywhere from 19 to 45. I don't really get it, but ok!
I wonder what they thought you would do with those knives?
Do not wish your youthful look away.
Just suck it up and say thank you.
