Yup.

I look older than I am too. Like once when I was 12, and I wanted to get a kid's meal at a restaurant, the waitress wouldn't believe my age. But, erm, she was not the most brainy of waitresses, if you get what I mean (my family's gotten this waitress three or four times, ya see).

And there is that one time a waiter in another restaurant called me "ma'am" even though I was a good two feet shorter than he was...why do people who work in restaurants have a hard time telling how old I am?
