A kid in my chemistry lab tried to guess my age today. "You're 20," he said, "maybe 21..." This pissed me off. "I'm 31, damnit." The class gasped in unison after hearing this, and the kid exhaled a long "whooooaaah."
Why do people think that being taken for a 21-year-old when you're 31 is a compliment? It's NOT.
People under 25 have an underdeveloped frontal cortex, which leaves them highly emotional, obnoxiously opinionated, and extremely irrational. That's the opposite of who I am. I have graduated college more than once, I've graduated from my 20s successfully, and I've paid my dues in the corporate world. I'm a grownup - I have joint pain when it's cold out, my left big toe is starting to bend outward and I'm afraid of teenagers.
So what is it? Do I have an immature aura about me? Do I come across as highly emotional, obnoxiously opinionated, or extremely irrational? Is that it? Or is it just my hot, young, killa' body? Could be.

it proves you are an adult when you start off by saying "A kid". Maybe he was hitting on you and you are too old to realize it?
