Now, first, everyone remembers that just 13 days ago my oldest turned 21. Right? And some of you remember that I celebrated my 40th birthday in Florida a few years back. Right?
So, last Friday morning,
I GOT CARDED!
I was at the grocery store buying bread, Doritos, beer, and cheap wine. The girl at the register said, "Can I see your ID?" I thought she meant the little scanny-discount-card-thingy so I handed her that and she swiped it. Then she kept waiting. "Can I see your driver's license?"
Still not getting it, I pulled it out and gave it to her. I thought that maybe the store had switched to a new system and needed ID for my debit card or to make sure I was using my own BigBrother discount card. I was just getting ready to ask her why she needed it when she looked up at me and back at the ID. "Wow! You look really young!"
I think I floated out of the store.
Just for grins, here I am at 21.

I think my attire may have had something to do with it. I was carded about two years ago when I was wearing a sweatshirt, tennies, etc. This time I was wearing a pale pink fleece pullover and jeans and cute earrings. And then there's the whole Doritos & beer thing.

Wow, that is very cool! Last time I got carded I actually didn't have my ID on me, I'd left it at home (which I never do.) The clerk sold me the wine anyway. :-P lol
Look at you two! You both look like children in that picture.
More proof for my hypothesis that homeschooling keeps you young!
kinda feels good....
That is NOT a picture of you and Colin. It's a picture of your mom and Patchy (time-travel picture).
Lol! I don't even get carded more than half the time :0)
That does really look like Patchy!
EXCELLENT! (And can I say, I love that you called your shoes Tennies. :) I haven't heard that an well over a decade, but we grew up calling them that! :) )
It looks like a wedding photo of Patrick and Bethany -- they'll love that, won't they?
Us old people like doritos and beer too. : P
Being carded used to make me feel good too, until I realized it was just store policy for everybody.
!!!Haha to what Susan said!!!!!
Happy for you. I still laugh about that experience myself and wonder if I just looked happy, giddy and young at the time. It has not happened again.
