On my 21st birthday I went to the Winn Dixie @ Lee and Burbank to buy a case of beer and a half gallon of cheap whiskey. The clerk (I lovingly like to call them dinkers) asked for my ID and looked at it smiled and said happy birthday. Then she started laughing, "Wait you're only 21?" Calls the Manager over to look with her and then they make it a huge deal about how my receding hair line makes me look soooo much older. It wasn't that big of a deal but kinda triggered me. Then she grabs the microphone and proceeds to sing happy birthday into the microphone while laughing and pointing to me. One of the girls I had in class (that I had previously asked out but got shot down) was walking by and stopped and told me happy birthday and the dinker says, "did you know he's ONLY 21?!?! He could pass for 30!!!" Girl says, " no way, you're older than 21 right? I thought you were older and returning to school after the military or something like that."

Ouch. I have the opposite problem. I once sat at a table with my kids waiting for a waiter to bring me a glass of wine and when he got there he asked nervously, “Um….where did your mom go?”

Ok you win. This is the kind of embarrassing that makes you want to crawl into a hole for a week
