For much of my life (and possibly still to this day), I have looked young for my age. Up until about a year ago, I would occasionally be offered kids’ menus at restaurants. But economically, this worked to my family’s advantage. At my “home theater” of Edwards Greenway Plaza 24, the cut-off age for child’s tickets is at 12. I was able to get into movies with a child ticket up until the beginning of high school. This saved about $3 for my ticket, which could recoup the astronomical cost of parking (something to be covered in many factoids in the future).
Hah! This is so true! You always look a bit out of place in a crowd of kids our age, no matter what age. Of course, next to me, the Amazon Woman until the seventh grade, you always looked super young. However, many middle aged women would envy you this talent. 🙂
That’s what I had to keep telling myself: “Take it now because you’ll be wanting it later!”
