Age.

On the plane home yesterday from Ireland. I started to write my research paper for my African History class in high school. However, the Irish man I was sitting next to asked me, in a rather sexy accent, "Is this for Graduate or Undergraduate?" Now, I was actually rather flattered by this. He thought I was a college student? or even a graduate student? I'll take that! But, this got me thinking about age. Why is it that when you are younger, you want people to think you are older than you are...but when you get older, the thought of someone thinking you are five years older than you actually are is insulting and deserving of a slap across the face? Pickle. What IS the perfect age? Je ne sais pas.
