20 ETA: I always forget how old I am. Yesterday the lady at the car place asked me how old I was (to make sure I could sign for my rental car) and I said 18. My boyfriend looked at me like I had five heads and said "yeah, plus 2." -- Edited by Stephanie at 16:40, 2005-10-22
I used to forget too. I have a great story on that. My husband (then BF) used get pulled over a lot, mainly because he thought he was a speed racer, but also because he drove a little red sports car. When he was 18 & I was 17 he would always tell me to say I was 18 when we got puller over, because he was afraid we would get in *trouble* because I was still a minor, LOL. Anyway, 3 years later, we went out to buy beer for his step-dad. A jerk cop pulled him over in front of his house for apparently not using a turn signal at the stop. He asked me how old I was and I blurt out, "18!" then it registered I had said the wrong age and said, "Oh no! I'm 20!", so the jerk cop, goes, "Well, are you 18, 19, 20? or are you still making up your mind?", and after that horrible experience, I never forgot again.
