*Sigh* So fifteen.

A note about today-- I got hit on by a high school kid on the train. I was just sitting there, listening quietly to my iPod, and one of a small pack of boys comes and sits down next to me and starts talking to me. I was polite and friendly, but I kind of wanted to be left alone, and I couldn't fathom what this kid wanted. Finally he asks for my number. I literally say to him, "How old are you, dear?" He's like, "Seventeen." There's a brief pause, then his eyes go wide. "Wait, how old are you?" "Too old for you. But thanks for the thought." That got rid of him.

Jesus Christ. Maybe I do look fifteen.

I once had a really little girl ask me in the supermarket if I was in the sixth grade. That was one or two years ago, I think, so I was either a senior in high school or a freshman in college. It was the weirdest thing ever. But then, to someone her age, I guess everyone else is just "old."

Then there was the lady at Macy's who guessed that I was thirteen, again during the same time frame as above. Oh, well. One day I'll be very glad to be mistaken for being so young.
