Growing Old in Margaritaville
I am getting old, I guess. At least I feel like I am getting old. I will be 24 this September, which really isn't that old, but the following things have happened in the past few weeks that make me wonder...
1. Customers address me as "ma'am." Really. Do I look like a ma'am to you? How about "Miss" or "Hey You..."
2. People talk about their kids and ask me if I have any kids... not people with toddles, mind you, but people with 12 and 13 year olds... um, hellooo... NO
3. The waitress at Chili's no longer hesitates, steps back and sizes me up before she asks if I'd like to start with a margarita tonight. And then looks ridiculously surprised when I say, "I'll have a coke."
Nowhere does it say that grownups cannot drink Coke.

Tell me about it! I can't believe that I am very close to be a quarter of a century old. I think I'm going to have a crisis. Good thing I will be in Hawaii when it happens so at least I'll be able to have my crisis on the beach.
