“How old are you?”
pause
“Sorry. That might be rude… but I was just wondering.”
With a genuine smile I say: “No, it’s fine. How old do you think I am?”
“25. 26?”
I laugh out a “thank you.”
“Younger or older?”
Very surprised laughter now, “I’m even more flattered by that question. Older… by a good bit.”
“Really?”
“I’m 33.”
“Wow. You don’t look it.”
“Thanks.”
