Disclaimer **When I say old in this post, it's a good old, not a bad one!**
Yesterday I was working, and I had my usualls come in, and two of my usuals are two elderly women who are friends. One was applying for a library card, and they wanted to make to Bingo, since Bingo was at 1:00 at the Senior Center, up the road. So one says "Well, if we don't make it we could have the librarian drive us back", and I looked at her and said "Well, that might be a little hard, since I don't have a driver's license". This flabbergasted (yay I used my favorite word in a sentence!) her, "Really? How old are you?" She aked, "Oh I'm #" I responded, "Really? I thought you were at least twenty-one" she replied.
I have to say, I have had more people swear I was in my late-teens, early-twenties more and more since getting this job, and it's not pretty bad. . .Now only if being mistaken for the age counts for something like, a driver's license, voting rights, graduated high school already. So, I have to say, I love my job and the people whom I work with and for!
Lots of Love,
The under twenty-one librarian aka Cae ♥

I used to (still do) get the opposite. I remember when I was 19I took my 10 year old brother to see the Lord of the Rings in theatres. They told me I couldn't come in because anyone younger than 14 needed an adult. I thought they were talking about my brother so I was like "I'm an adult." I realised they thought I was under 14 and needed the adult haha!!! When they found out I was 19 though there was no problem and they let us in. People STILL think I'm 16 or 17 when I'm ten years older than that... I have no complaints though haha! They can think I'm a teen for as long as they want.
Teresa-Ha, I like the compliments, I've actually been mistaken at U of H as a college student and asked for some student i.d.
