Do I really look THAT old?
In one of my sister's college classes last year, the teacher was talking about the job market for the students' prospective field and various other topics, and she started out by saying, "I think I can safely say that everyone here is over 30..." My sister freaked out and politely inserted that she was only 19, which resulted in a moment of stunned silence. Then everyone had a good laugh over it and class continued. Later, the family had a chuckle over it at home during dinner. But it got me thinking. My sister (now age 20) and myself (a venerable ancient at 25) don't wear the "uniform of youth." We don't wear scuffed flat sneakers or trendy sandals, torn skinny jeans, and faded tops from trendy stores - we wear nice, pretty clothes that are less likely to go out of style; things that are actually feminine. We don't wear heavy eye makeup and funky nail polish, or jingle with cheap jewelry. Christina actually DOES things with her hair -
