that seriously just happened (and it was funny)

Today I was demolishing the four items I have been putting off on my to-do list since I recovered from the plague flu and found myself at UPS.

It took me forever to get my boxes ready because I hadn't put together my things as well as I should have.  The worker was really friendly and I was thrilled about the customer service, but it then dawned on me about five minutes in that he was hitting on me.  It started to make sense to me why the older man behind me kept snickering.

So, I did the awkward married thing and mentioned I had a husband at the first chance I had.  The color in his face drained and my customer service became less...attentive.  After some uncomfortable silence he said :"Uhhh, I'm only 18."  It was said in a way that not only made me feel old, but also made me feel like a cougar for just being friendly.

I'll take the compliment even if the delivery was uncomfortable because I totally remember what it was like to be 18...six and a half years ago.

Just for kicks and giggles, this is what I looked like as a 10-year-old 18 year-old freshman in 2006.

Don't worry, I stopped wearing t-shirts with catfish in public shortly before my transfer to BYU....but I still wear it around the house on a regular basis.

Even if he didn't mistake your age, he was still trapped by your beauty. I mean, he's not the first.

Lol, that's so great! I usually only get hit on by men who could be my grandpa and my husband gets hit on by 16 year olds. Awkward all around!

I don't think the catfish should ever be retired. Just saying. Also, I will also look perpetually young.

White College represent! This is when you were still on the 9th floor right? Looks like Mark in the background.

Dang that shirt is awesome! That is hilarious that he was hitting on you. I'm really slow to notice that, but when i finally pick up on it, I always not so subtly find a way to shove my ring in their face.
