I got your number on the wall!

At a couple of stores, I've been asked my age when buying gun magazines. Not the kind you put ammunition in, the paper kind with words and pictures and stuff. I'm not sure if that's happened here in Texas. I think it was in California. I wasn't sure if it was just the store policy or some kind of law. Oh well. I guess I was old enough, they sold them to me.

The clerk didn't even bat an eye, just rang me up. Kind of disappointing, as I wanted to show off that yes, I was legal. If I had known they weren't going to check I would have started buying beer earlier.

That whole year, I only got carded about half the time I went anywhere/did anything.

The night before my 21st birthday, I went to the liquor store to get some beer. More for a laugh than anything else. If they turned me down, I was going to say,"Look, in a few hours I'll be legal."
. . . They didn't card me. For once I didn't even care if I got the beer. My mission was to annoy them and I failed.

I needed to go talk to my daughters new volleyball coach at her practice. I had not yet met her so I asked my daughter (13 years old) to describe her.

"Blond hair, elderly, wears too much eye makeup"

I was a little skeptical on the elderly part and sure enough - it took me a few minutes to pick her out of the group of coaches there - but she is probably 25!

My wife and I were like "If she is elderly, what does that make us?"

She's 13 and thinks a 25 year old is "elderly"? I think she may be pulling your leg just a little.
After years of observation I've come to the conclusion that anyone 15 years older than you is "old" and anyone 15 years younger than you is "a kid," regardless of your age.
