Interesting Anecdote:
Today at 7-11, I decide to get myself an Asahi Dry Beer. Don’t know why since I don’t drink beer. But that’s not the point.
The counter girl is some cute local chick. Tinted hair, big eyes yeah you get the picture. Yes she’s in the dark green uniform, black pants and stupid cap. Too bad, I’m sure she’d look much better in normal clothing, like a dress or t-shirt and jeans.
Chick: Hi evening sir, welcome to 7-11.
Jon: Yah (mumble)
*pause*
Jon: erm…
Chick: Sorry I need some form of identification.
Jon: (genuinely shocked) huh? Why?
Chick: (giggles) To make sure you’re over 18.
Jon: Really?! Hahaha… okay wait. Eh, do I really look 18 or are you just playing me?
Chick: I don’t know. But you could pass off as 18.
Jon: That’s refreshing. Here I am with aching bones and bad knees and white hair and you say I’m 18.
*While Chick checks the IC, Jon grabs a Mars bar*
Chick: That’s 6.50 plus 1.50. 8 dollars.
Jon: Yeah thanks, the Mars bar is for you. You made my day.
Chick: Er sir, I can’t accept it.
Jon: Too late, I’ve paid for it. *wink*
*Saunters out*
You know, I honestly wouldn’t want to be 18. That would mean being in 2nd year uni and being stuck in a few hellish relationships. I’d much rather be 22 thank you very much. Slightly more mature, secure, established and solicitous. Better able to understand people and make level headed decisions. Yes, 22 is a good age. But looking 18 is another thing. :) Hooray!!
