A Youthful Appearance

In my youth I was often thought to be much younger than I was.  I attribute this much to the fact that I was incredibly skinny.  At 5’ 5’’ I may have weighed a whole ninety pounds.  It didn’t matter what I ate.  I couldn’t gain an ounce.

One time I was at a restaurant with my dad.  We were travel weary and waited on the bench inside the entrance of the place.  When the waitress came out she asked me if I would like the under twelve menu.  I was twenty one!

I’m glad people don’t mistake me for twelve anymore, but now it is nice when folks guess me much younger than I am!

    I remember when you carried the little calorie counter book around with you–counting calories to gain weight!

    I would’ve said “I would LOVE an under 12 menu”. It’s cheaper 🙂

    I’ve always had the opposite problem – growing up, people thought I was older than I was. At 13 I apparently passed for a 16 year old! It presented its own unique issues LOL

    I am six feet tall and was always thought to be older….liked it when I was pre-21….not so much fun after that!
