Okay, here's the story:

I was at the gas station getting gas and pickin up a pack of cigs and the lady cards me. Which I don't mind, being carded at 26 is not a bad thing. However, she looks at my ID and goes, "I didn't know you were that old."

I have been stressing over this for the past two weeks.....Am I old?

Nah. 26 isn't old by any means. Unless you're a figure skater, in which case you're nearly ancient

Seriously though, 26 isn't old at all.
 
you're as old as I am
that's not good

I know how you feel.

I'm 29 and I still get carded for cigarettes. When they see my birth date they almost have a heart attack.
 
When I worked at 7-11, I carded a lady for cigarettes, and she was 45!!!! I guess I suck at judging ages!

I once asked a 34 yo for ID. I dont get asked anymore which is making me feel old.

And you are definately not old! 26 is....not old!
Definately not old, ok?

Well, I think she meant to say 'I thought you were younger, not the age you are'-guess that's too awkward.

Obviously 26 is not 'old'-age truly is just a number and a state of mind. Maturity, however, is a different matter entirely-but, I digress.

26 is not old.

I think what she meant is you look younger than you really are - that is a good thing for a woman, right?
 
Bah! I turn twenty six in exactly two weeks.

Unemployed, directionless... I'm still in my mid-20s crisis since I was 14.
 
I still get carded and I'm waaaaaaaaaaay older than you... and I get the "you're that old?" comment all the time. I just take it as a compliment... and 26 is definitely NOT old.

Getting older is no problem... it's the alternative that really sucks...

Some years ago my dad and I went out for some Italian food. We both ordered a glass of wine and the waitress looks at my father and asked him if I was old enough being 34 years old at the time. He told her of course she is, I'm her father. Her face got beet red and I don't think we left her a very big tip.

At the moment, I am doing a period of practical training at a kindergarten. Man, I'm 21 but you can't imagine how old I feel!

But seriously, sometimes I feel very, very old. It was bad when I finished my teen-ages. I am still shocked when I read the number "21" - and realize that this is my age!
