Ok, so at work I hear things like “you’ll see when you’re older. You’re just a kid”
I’m 47 years old!!!
I don’t like being referred to as a kid.
I’m thinking I’m going to start telling people my age when that happens from now on.
Would you?

It’s worse when you walk into a restaurant and they hand you the seniors menu without being asked for it. Enjoy this while it lasts.

Yeah. That would suck @shutterbug !
It’s like they want to engage in a conversation style where they are the parent and you the child.
2 parents is already enough.
We don’t need more

Dad threw a tantrum the first time a guy in his 20s called him “gramps”.
I used to look much younger than my real age up until around 30.
Maybe you simply look much younger, which I’d take as a compliment. Or your coworkers are trying to be funny around you, which can be a sign they find you agreeable.

Im surprised to hear youre 47. Looking at your photo in the selfies thread i would have guessed 30s. Its good to look young for your age.

Same things that are on the regular menu but reduced portions and price. Your appetite shrinks as you age.

I would be ecstatic if someone called me a kid!
How old are these co workers that call you a kid @LilyoftheValley?

It’s the customers, and only one coworker thought I was a kid
The coworker is 81 so I get it coming from her
Sometimes the customers look the same age as me and still think I’m a kid.
I’m sorry, I assumed they were coworkers
How old around are the customers?
Are they usually senior citizens?
If so I wouldn’t be offended

It’s about 50/50 of people who are old enough like 70+ to think I’m a kid, and people my age. It’s when it’s people my age that it strikes a nerve with me.
