went to a high school lacrosse game today. it did me good to sit outside in the sunshine.
when i met a kid before we sat down in the bleachers, she introduced me to the guy she was talking to.
him: "nice to meet you... so you go to berkeley high?"
me (can't tell if he is joking or serious): "er... yeah."
whereupon my friend bursts out laughing - i had intended to carry the farce on as long as i could - and corrects him, saying that i am 30. alas. i couldn't tell if i should be happy or sad that he asked. i chose happy. it was a pretty funny moment.

Once when I was student teaching (age 21) one of the kids from a different class thought I was a fifth grader (age 10?). You beat me on the age spread by a year :)
