» Evidence that you're getting old

I'm not old
I'm 22, but in the last year I must have visibly aged at least 20 years. Last summer I was asked on more than one occasion, what school I was at, to which, pround of my youthful appearance, I answered that I'd left 3 years ago. This year it's all gone horribly wrong.
I was out shopping for an anniversary present for my parents with my sister. We chose a suitable classy vase in Debenhams, went to the till and I handed over my debit card. The cashier wrapped the vase, put it in a bag which she then held out to my sister and said with a broad smile, "Are you going to carry this for your Mum?!" My sister is 19. She is only 4'11" but I don't exactly tower over her at 5'3"

A week later, at the train station, renewing my railcard I was asked for ID to prove I was YOUNG enough to still qualify. I'm allowed one for the next 3 years!!
