here is the story:
i finish shopping and go through the checkout. the woman scans my dvd and asks me for my ID.
i look at her surprised.
"it's because of your R rated DVD" she said, sensing my curiosity.
"oh?" i said in response, shaking my head and smiling as i got out my license.
"let me guess" she said, "you're older than 17?"
"um, yes, i'm 24." i said as i showed her my license, which is horizontal (in ohio that means i am over the age of 21).
"oh wow!" she said, genuinly surprised. "i didn't realize..."
"it's okay, it happens a lot." i say as i put away my license and grab my bags.
"when you're thirty and look twenty you'll appreciate it" she reassures me.
"thanks." i say as i walk away.
now, i get carded all the time for alcohol and when i smoked i got carded for cigarettes. but never, ever have i been carded for an R rated movie. i didn't even know they did that.
interesting.
so apparently i look like i'm 17. awesome.
i guess when i'm in my thirties and look twenty i'll appreciate it?
cheers to having a baby face.
