People always think I'm older than I am. If someone gets my age wrong, they seem to think I'm 5-15 years older. It was more common when I was younger-from the time I was 8-10, I had a curvy hourglass figure and obscure 'grownup' interests, and I also had an advanced vocabulary. So people thought I was a lot older. Throughout my teens, people were routinely shocked when they found out how young I was. I think because of a combination of big boobs, using big words, and odd interests for a teenager. I'm 20 now, and I don't think it's as noticeable now.

But, to be fair, I'm often surprised when I remember how old I really am.


Most of the time, I'm not aware of my real age and it's a bit of a shock when I remember.
