It was a bit different for me though. People didn't start calling me ma'am...they started calling me MRS.! I noticed this shortly after I graduated with my B.S...at 22! I am now 28, I still get carded when I buy alcohol, but everyone from grocery checkers to girl scouts selling me cookies call me Mrs. I thought it was just a small town thing...but after recently moving I've realized it's NOT. I am forced to conclude that I look young enough that I may not be able to legally drink, but for some reason look plenty old enough to be married. The worst part? People get really, really offended when I correct them with "It's MISS." And by the way, I hate 'big girl shoes' too! I know ALL about the “ma’am” thing. It was a bit different for me though.

We're almost the same age, hurray ! :-) Belated Happy Birthday wishes ! dunno how I missed this post ! I lost my cute at 27, because girls in my city got married before they turn 23. Yeah, I'm with you. It feels weird to say those sentences which were once endearing and cute. Tell me about it S.A.G.

I hate hate hate hate *times a million* it! I've decided that it's a southern thing though. Or else I would kill someone. They never called me that in Michigan or London. I'm 31 and have started to notice for the the first time that there may be men out there that are *gasp* too young for me *sobs* But I adore my 30s, so there's the trade-off. I'd rather be a mature, sexy woman in her 30s than 'cute' ;) OMG, everyone in DC calls me ‘ma’am’ too! I hate hate hate hate *times a million* it! I’ve decided that it’s a southern thing though.

My cute is torn up into the shreds and stuck to the bottom of my shoe. Should we start dressing older? Maybe I dress way too cute for my age.
