The Struggles Of Looking Young

in funny •  7 years ago 

Apparently I look like a young teenager.

I am 20 years old, and I will be turning 21 next month. I have been told that I look like a 13 year old. My husband and I were at a store a few weeks ago, and they were having gummy samples. He asked if I wanted one and I said sure. We get up there and the woman ask us if we want a sample, then she looks at my husband and says "is it okay?". I guess she thought I was under 18 and needed permission to sample it. She had 3 different gummy vitamins to sample. Children, women's, and men....she started off by telling us about the children's vitamin first.

Another time we went to Red Robin's to eat with my in laws. When we got there the host asked us if we wanted the bar area or the dining area. My father in law replied "the dining area", then she said "well, kids aren't allowed in the bar anyways." Then he said, "well...we don't have any children with us. Besides we want the dining area." She kind of looked at me then said "well, people under 21 aren't allowed in the bar." Then my husband lifted up our hands (we were holding hands) and said "well, we are married." Her face suddenly changed, then she just grabbed the menus and took us to the table without saying another word.

When we were at Walmart my husband found a good deal on some BB guns, so he bought 4 of them. These aren't cool looking bb guns, they are lever action bb guns that all had pink stocks for little girls. When he went to the self checkout I went to look at something else, so when he rings them up they need his I.D. He gives it to them then the woman said "and how old is the girl that's with you? does she have an I.D?" he said "My wife is over 18, yes." she looked kind of surprised then said "oh, okay." and she let him buy them.

Yes, I know this will be a good thing when I am older, but right now its annoying and embarrassing, lol.

I wouldn't say you look 13, more like 18! Looking young looks like a curse now, but in the future it will be something you want haha!

I wouldn't say I look 13 either lol!

I agree. :) :) :)

Yeah, You looks beautifully young !

Well thanks

I am really shocked to know that you are married ☺️ but anyway enjoyed reading about your post......and all the best for life.....be happy

Aw thanks! Ah yes, we have been married almost a year!

This is really great to know and you both look great together

Thanks so much!

:)

You're not the only one who has this problem. Without the beard I look like I am twelve. :)

LOL! That's comical! 😂

That is really funny, i know it must be annoying but your post still made me smile. I also look younger but I'm thankful because I am 35 and look 28.
You still got married quite young! 😀

Aw. Oh wow. You don't like 35 lol.

Yes we did :)

Beautiful girl @aloveymess
Nice fotography

Thanks

Haha I have the same problem 😂😂😂 gosh. When we’re older hopefully it’ll be worth it

Me too lol!

this is appreciate able that you reply to everyone.

I'm glad you appreciate that! I try my best!

Yes you do look young, and yes you will like that when you’re older! You’re a good writer, by the way:)

Aw thank you!! ❤

I’m 31 and was carded for a scratcher ticket a couple months ago... And that wasn’t the first time that happened either! Kind of annoying but kind of funny too!

Oh my! That's kinda funny lol!

Your face looks very beautiful .. And charming, please visit my account to see my post is very interesting

Thank you. 👍

I agree, you are stunningly beautiful! :)

You'll probably still have to show your I.D. when you're 60 just to get the senior discount, haha!

carry onn dear

Awww you're so sweet! ❤❤❤❤

LOL, that is too funny!

Know exactly how you feel. People say I look half my age.

Wow lol.

Don't feel bad, I can tell worse stories! My list IS LONG! I'll give you two examples I got carded in Las Vegas and my close friend (whom was holding my i.d.) got pissed, she was 6 years younger and wasn't carded. I told the guy that carded me, I'm older than you and you're going to ask me? I should be asking you! Another example, at a job my co-worker, a social worker asked, since when do we hire underage employees?

Oh my goodness. That's hilarious!

Glad to have been able to make you laugh. There's many more! Here's more: For 8 straight years my neighbors kept calling my son my brother, no matter how many times I corrected them saying he was my son, not my little brother. They would say we keep forgetting because you just look too young to have a child. Or when I first came-out of the hospital with my newborn a lady in the elevator of a relatives building said, what a shame kids having kids! I was 23. :/

Oh wow, that's kinda rude to say of the lady in the elevator lol.

It's okay cos there is nothing you can do to make you look old and it's gonna be good when you are older as you once said

Right. :) :)

Nyc couple😃

Thanks

ohh ! ...so great married at 20! :)

Thank you! 😃

I apologize if I really admire the beauty @alovelymess, success and healthy always for @alovelymess

Thanks!

Haha kids aren't allowed in the bar area. A humiliation which infact is a huge compliment. :)

Yeeeah lol!!

be glad to hear that 😉

your @mynaturebody 🌱

Thanks. :)

Nice stories! :) Made me smile though I know it must be very annoying for you now. But as you said you will be thankful about it 10 years later and perhaps looking back to this post and made you smile too.

I was on the other side when I was a teenager. I was only 13-14 but people kept thinking I was 18 or over which was nice if I tried to go into a bar,restaurant... :)
I grow up in Europe where we have some big shopping malls (kind of a wholesale markets) where kids are not allowed, so my friends were never been able to go with their parents, but I was so lucky and without a question they always let me in...:)
Now I am 31 and sometimes I feel very old...:) ENJOY your youth!

Thanks!

Wow lol!

Much better to look young than old ! Time gets to all of us....

Right lol!

I'm 31 and I get told I look pre 25ish.
When I was 25 I used to be told I look 18.
When I was 18 I used to look like 14 and for a young man it was difficult especially being the smallest in the class at school. It was a combination of both :D

I now laugh and see how the universe set me up for me to regain my confidence in the way I did.

Play basketball now and enjoy looking great all the time ha :D

Oh wow!! Crazy crazy!!

You certainly received a lot of comments @alovelymess! Many can relate no doubt.

I married young too - I was 19. I had my first child at 21. I always looked older for my age but then as I got older I started to look younger. Go figure.

My husband is 10 years older than me and there was a time before I started going grey and getting wrinkles on my neck that people thought he was my father. That was embarrassing. !! Not just for him but for the clerk at the store. lol

Oh and I had an opposite problem when I qualified for a senior's discount .... they asked me for ID. lol

Oh wow, that's so sweet. My sister got married when she was 18. They are still married and have 2 beautiful kids! My husband is a year older than me. I think he looks older than he is lol.

Wow! That is too funny!

This will give you a giggle....our 43rd anniversary - I posted vintage wedding photos of us then and then now. here
Also, I figured by age, I am old enough to be your grandmother! Such a strange thot when I still feel young inside.

Wow. I can't believe you've been married 43 years. You looks so young and beautiful! My parents have been married for almost 30 years.

That's really why I wanted to you see the post. I needed to be told I am still young and beautiful! lol....just kidding.

I just wanted to give you a sense from our long marriage that age is only a way to measure how long you've lived, not how well you've lived your life or how well you look.

I do appreciate the compliment though...after all I'm still a girl :)

Aw! ❤ I still can't believe how long you've been married. Seriously, you look so young!

I vant imagine How you feel when stuff like that happen. The host at RR should’ve apologized to you. How rude to just act like nothing!

Yes, but I would have felt more embarrassed about it.

Just do what I do and grow a beard, silly! ;)

LOL!! 😂

I get that a lot, too. I'm 26 and a few years ago a business acquaintance thought I was 17! haha You're beautiful, as always!

Aw thanks! ❤

Oh wow!

That's right marry young, stay together 💕

Thanks! 😃❤

Well you are really pretty- but people are always going to assume things about you based on the way you look I guess.

Thank you!

believe or not it happens to me all the time. i worked in highschool as a professor of physics and cleaning lady thought that I was a student and did not want to let me get into the main entrance :)
