There are times when looking young is extremely inconvenient.
Like when I walk into my classroom on the first day of class and my students, who are typically older than me, look at me and see a good chum for their daughters.
Or when I walk into a bar, and the entire group gets carded because of me.
Then again when said bar "forgets" my drink....all evening.
Or when I say I'm married, and get shocked glances, and questions about my religion.
Or when I hold a small child, and get a lecture on teenage pregnancy.
But it has it's advantages too.
Like my cultish following of students who think I'm a child math genius, and are willing to give me lots of money to solve all their math woes.
I have seriously had so many comments this week on how "professional" I am, or how "mature." Well, duh!! Just because I LOOK like a sixteen year old, doesn't mean I AM a sixteen year old!!
