Getting OLD

We went to the movies Saturday night and I was first in line. I asked for four tickets (the movie was R-Rated). The guy said, "That will be $30 and I need to see your identification."

Sweet I thought. Getting carded at the movies. I just started to say "I love you" to the guy (because that's my standard response when ANYONE asks for my ID these days) but before I could get the words out he lifted his head up from his keyboard to take my money, looked at me and said laughing....

"OH, never mind I don't need your license."

"WHAT," I said. "I'm getting uncarded."

"Well you do look older than 16," he said.

There was no backing out of it. His reaction was enough....I'm getting OLD!
