My very first date with my high school girlfriend of two years was a bit embarassing because of age. She was a few years older than me and fully legal to see R-rated movies. I was still well under the age limit, and therefore, I could not escort her to a proper date movie. We ended up seeing Toy Story 2. It worked out for the best but there’s nothing like being shot down by an annoying employee (ticket salesperson at the cinema or flight attendant) who is your same age. Being from the Northeast, I typically ask those annoying people if they remember Hurricane Bob. If they get a questioning look on their face, I proceed to read each line of my license to the them very, very loudly.

That cracked me up. I also have an older sister who also gets this treatment, though she’s 29, and it was a grocery cashier quite a bit younger than her who wouldn’t let her buy alcohol even after she showed her her ID. A manager’s intervention was required. The worst I’ve had it was getting carded for an R-rated movie when I was 22. My friend Stephen, who’s a month older than me, was with me and did not get carded. He was quite offended.

Hahahaha. My older sister is 26 and she gets this kind of treatment all the time. When we were at my younger sister’s HS graduation (this was four years ago), one of my little sister’s friends asked my older sister if she was going to be attending the high school next year. This cracked us all up, especially because my older sister was standing next to her fiance.
