You wanna see my WHAT!?!

"I'd like to buy this lottery ticket, please."

"Can I see some picture i.d.?"

"Oh no, I don't have any i.d. on me. I left it at home. I'm almost 35 years old, honest! "

"Sorry! Come back when you have it."


I so do NOT look like I'm 19, or even under 25 for that matter. What gives?
Must be the zit on my chin.

    Take those little bits of flattery where you can, my dear. Alas, they don't ask forever. I was asked for ID in a liquor store when I was 29. I walked with a light step for weeks afterward.

    Hey Tai take it as a compliment. If you look 19 at age 35, you'll look 35 when your 51. Not bad for an old broad. ;o)
    My daughter has the same problem. When my son was 17 and my daughter 21 we went to eat in a pub. She was asked for ID and he wasn't. Needless to say she was mighty pissed off. ;O)

    I was IDed when I was 40. I mean c'mon.... Hopefully now that I've let my hair go grey they will leave me alone.

    I am sure you look young for your age. I know if I was the clerk, I would ask for ID. It is a cheap way to get your name and address! ;)

    Hopefully that wasn't the winning lottery ticket

    My husband who had white hair and a white beard was asked for ID at a football game one time...he thought that was hilarious!

    I was mistaken for a much younger person just tonight...and so we can now bask together in the warm glow of unintended but happy flattery nonetheless. :)

    I miss being carded. I think it stopped when I was around 35. I still look young for my age, just not THAT young. And like Jarod said, I hope it wasn't the winning ticket!

    Hi Tai

    I can see that happening. If you had come into my bar when I was bartending I would have carded you, but just to get your name and address...:)

    Was the cashier male or female? maybe that doesn't matter...probably wanted to see your ID so that they could look at your address and stalk you....

    I was in a restaurant with the Munchkins the other day, and the waiter thought I was their Mom. Ha! (They giggled...)

    Hey - be happy! I'm the same age as you, and I am beaming when they ask for my I.D.
