Carded at 55

November 21, 2009 by David.

Now I realize that some people are a VERY poor judge of another person’s age, but I found this too amusing. Today I was in Safeway and as I checked out the clerk asked my birthday. I was certain I misunderstood, as grocery store clerks just don’t ask such personal questions out of the blue. So so I asked her to repeat. She did. By then I was sure that - in spite of my hearing aids - that I must be really be having a hard time understanding her. She then stated, “What is your birthday for the alcohol you are buying?”

“Oh, that!”

I was last carded when I was 40 years old. And that was 15 years ago.

I think I’ll just take it as a compliment.
