age is just a number

I was training for cashiering today and Geoff was next to me training someone for bartending, so I got to listen to him a lot and get information. I told him I wanted to learn bartending as soon as possible, to which one of the cooks laughed and said I wasn’t old enough. I told him that I was, and when I told him my age after not believing that I was old enough, he acted as if I had told him I was really a boy.  “You look fourteen!”  I’ve gotten this all my life, that I don’t look my age.  It used to piss me off…every teenager wants to look older, not younger. But, I’m starting to embrace it now. I don’t need to look older, and I figure in 10 years, when I DONT want to look my age, I can look 10 years younger…. hopefully lol.
