Age

Yesterday at work I was helping someone and she said "o, you ah bery wittle" (she was Asian..) and I said "O yes I am" and she says "o, ow old ah you" and that's when it hit me:

When I was 19, I hated to tell people that I was 19 I would always tell them that I was 20. Just because I didn't want people to know that I was still a teenager. "o that girl is a teenager lets stone her" was kinda what was going through my mind, right?

So this woman asks me how old I am and I had the hardest time saying 20. In my head I though "well I'm 20, but I don't really want to say that, what should I say? Well than again my mom always taught me to be honest, but a women never reveals her age!" so I said "20."

I think I have finally understood what it feels like to be old. I used to want nothing but to be out of my teens and now I'm embarrassed to tell people. I don't understand this complex feeling.
