    Yup and no that is not me in the avatar!!

    Age is so relative.

    When I travel, I tend to get hyper, getting people motivated to do stuff. When I tell them I have a 24 yr old daughter, they usually laugh and say funny joke. But I say look at me physically, greying hair, plenty of wrinkles and they go...Yeah wow, really?!

    But other times I can sit with people and discuss deeper issues and they say I thought you were much older...

    Both are compliments

    I love Bob Dylans line "May you stay forever young"

    My daughter saw him in concert a few years ago. When he finished this song she said he looked up and he looked twenty five!!!!(Just for a flash hahah)

    Absolutely. I get a real kick out of telling people I am 30. They are usually surprised and peg me around 5 years younger... COOLIES!!!

    When I was 14 people thought I was 22 or 23. Now that I'm 33 people think I'm 17. I get carded for cigarettes all the time. When people ask my age I wanna say 27... I have to remind myself how old I am. I still feel 14 on the inside.......

    On my 42nd birthday, I tried to buy some cigarettes for my friend. I left my purse in the car. Depsite my disbelief, the clerk made me go to the car to get my DL. I showed it to her. Meanwhile a long line of people had formed behind me. She looked at me and said in a defensive tone, "You don't even look close to 42." I told her it was my birthday and then I told her I hoped great blessings would come her way as she had made my day. Edited to add: the people in line applauded and agreed/

    Yes, but I am not honest in the age I act, for it is younger then my real age.
