I went with my four year old to the water park a few days ago. Pretty brave considering I just had a baby. I went down a kiddie slide after my four year old and a lady around 20 years old was waiting at the bottom. She said, "Are you an adult?" She later told me that the life guard told her adults are not aloud to go on the kiddie slides. I am almost 33 years old, so I am wondering if I can still pass for someone younger than 18 years old? That really made my day:) It really bothered me looking so young when I was in my early 20's but now, I love it!!!

You really do look young! If I didn't already know how old you are I would honestly guess that you were about 18 or so!

That's funny. I look older than usual in my avatar picture because I have bigger cheeks due to pregnancy, which is a good thing! My face is usually skinner that makes me look even younger. I didn't know I could pass for that young, though. Perhaps I should go on dateline and catch some predators.

Even when my sister was 14 and I was 21, people thought she was the older sister. Grown men would drool at her and I was ready to kick some butt! What pervs!!

Looking young doesn't help working in the schools. About 1/4th of the parents who meet me ask for my age or make some comment about me looking so young. Some of the parents making those comments are younger than me, too. I have succumbed to wearing suits in order to look older. They are not becoming on me but oh well.

Ugh! I get ID'd all the time! Yes, you do look young. I remember getting dirty looks from disapproving middla aged women when i was pregnant with both my kids. I suppose some day i will be happy about it....maybe!
