Are you kidding?

Ok I know that I look like I could pass for about eighteen or nineteen. I get carded at dive bars and on a good day I could be celebrating my 21st birthday over and over again. I look young for my age. I do. Not that I’m old or anything, I’ve got some years left before I’m back in diapers, but I do have a “babyface”.

And I’ll admit that I am also soft spoken. Yes, believe it or not I have this soft sexy voice that makes men gravel at my feet with diamonds. And caviar. And sometimes they stay down there and suck on my toes.

Unfortunately, my sexy DJ voice only works for the guys and the rest of the time people are like, “what did you say!?” or “huh, I can’t hear you!” So with my soft voice and post puberty vibe, sprinkled with a little bit of nice, people tend to treat me a certain way in the restaurant business. It’s ok, for the most part this comes along with the job. I’m used to people assuming I’m twelve.

So anyway, a friend of mine hooked me up with a job at this nice French restaurant. So far I like it, everyone is cool and it’s decent money. My boss is a cool guy. He’s about business, but he knows how to take a joke. Now don’t get me wrong I like the guy, but last night I sure did have to bite my tongue when I asked him for something and he said, “I’ll be there in a minute, kid.”

KID? Did this fool just call me kid? You know I’ll take honey, baby cakes, even sugar lips, before I let anyone call me kid. I hate it when older people call me kid. I get it, I look like I just got my drivers license, but this isn’t the 1920s. I mean, give me some credit, I do have boobs. Yes, they’re in there, somewhere, f*cker.

* sigh * Well at least I have a job…

All I say is, enjoy it now. You'll yearn for your youth later (especially your liver).

LOL! a lot of that goes around. even in corporate America. I often call trainees "my children" even though some of them are much older than me. However, in corporate America so many people act like children.

go figure.

The first time a guy at a beer store didn't ask for my ID, I cried. Then they start calling you ma'am. And you have to start hitting people.

Not long ago, I was standing in front of the middle school near my apartment, and a hall monitor yelled at me to get inside because I was late for school. I also got carded at the movies last year. Don't you only have to be 17 for that? It's annoying, but then you can always pleasantly surprise people with your maturity and wisdom.

Enjoy the kid thing now. Because being call Ma'am is traumatizing at best! LOL...

Hex said...

All I can think of is that one lady cop from all those old Police Academy movies with the really quiet voice who seemed timid until you pissed her off, and then she was all like
