Conversation between me and Armenian ESL student:
student: How long have you been married?
me: almost 7 years!
student: NO WAY! How old are you?
me: 27.
student: (gasps) I never would have guessed! I thought maybe 20!
me: I know, most of my students don't think I'm old enough to be their teacher.
student: (peering at me strangely) Well, actually, I think that from far away you look really young. But if I look closer I can see all your wrinkles.
There are no words. Really?

I got told by a Mary Kay lady that I had wrinkles--when I was 23--because she was trying to sell me her product. Yah, thanks. Brush it off! You look great. Looking young now means. . .you'll look young later. People will eat their words when you're 60 and you look 40!
Wrinkles? Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous!
The other day I went to vote for our PHX City Council and the lady looked at me (with the most serious tone) and said, "You have to be 18 to vote!" I was so annoyed! Why on earth would an 8 month pregnant, 15 year old girl care to vote for City Council? She made me show her my drivers license.
Dude you have no wrinkles! I would kill to have skin like you :)
AHHAHAHHAHA SO FUNNY!!!!!!! sorry. Why are foreigners so blunt????? (not all...but so many...)
Hey old lady, we are heading your way next week. Get ready to party. People always think i am significantly younger than I am. When I was pregnant with Noelle and 25 years old, people routinely thought I was 17. 17!!! I didn't wear my wedding ring, as i was a gardner, so everyone thought I was a pregnant teenager. Embarrassing. Someone once told me that it is a good thing to look so young. Then all your kids' friends will think you are hot, even though you are a mom. I guess I'm not sure anymore what the good part of that situation is, but who cares anyway. I figure when I am 50, people will think I am 30 and that will be great.

Kelly, let me tell you, you still look like you are about 16-18 most days. Well maybe 20.
For the record I have never seen one wrinkle.
