Ugh, EVERYONE pulls that one on me! "When you get older, you'll be happy!" Okay but now I'm a 20-something that looks like she's in middle school! When I started college, it was funny. However, when I say "I just graduated" to a stranger and they ask "From where? Middle school? High school?" it pisses me off! But I don't believe in make-up just yet so there's no way of "making myself look older". I just have to constantly act like an adult and hope that people get the picture.
BACK ON TOPIC... One day, my friends son was quizzing me as part of a Healthy Living Unit he is working on at school. He asked me "If you wanted a snack, would you grab a piece of watermelon or a bag of chips?" I answered "bag of chips" and his mother chimes in "DON'T LIE! YOU KNOW BLACK PEOPLE LOVE WATERMELON!" I guess she's getting her kids started early with stereotyping  (he's only 7)
