Baby Face

So I've been living in the Atlanta-area for approximately a week and it's been great. I love the city, being near Shannon, new friends, my coworkers - bottomline this place is a perfect fit. I've had some fun times already (which I'll write about later), but one thing that's bothered me is that a lot of people that I run into think that, when I say "I just graduated," it means "I just graduated from high school." Most people, especially women, desire to look young, and this is all well and good when you're 30, 40, 50, etc. However, I'd just like to look my age. But I've decided that I'm not going to complain about it and, instead, embrace my baby-face. So I've compiled a list of the reasons why looking young is a good thing:

-No one shoots you an odd look when you order a Happy Meal at McDonalds.

- If you piss another driver off on the interstate, you automatically get a pardon because they think you're "new to this."

-No need for botox injections when you're older.

-Getting carded at rated-R movies is not cool, but neither is paying full price for a movie ticket these days. I'll take the kid's discount rate, please. :)

-People always compliment you for being "mature for your age."

-If you tell people that you have a master's degree, they automatically assume you're a child prodigy.

-You always get free access to the crayons and coloring book when waiting at certain restaurants.

-Free lollipops at the bank drive-thru.

-And finally, No one asks questions if they catch you playing in the ball pit at Chucky Cheese's. Actually, the only question they do ask is, "I wonder if that young girl knows my kid just peed in there."
