Maintaining My Girlish Looks

Kid By the Side of the Pool (as I was getting out): How many laps did you do?

Me: Um, 80.

Kid: Wow...Are you on a swim team?

Me: I used to be. Not now.

Kid: Why not?

Me: Oh, well, I'd like to build up my endurance more, maybe join a team eventually.

Kid: Are you fast?

Me: I'm okay. I used to be fast.

Kid: Yeah, I used to be on a team. Now I'm just here watching my girlfriend swim.

Me: Huh.

Kid: So what grade are you in?

Me:...

...

... Uh, actually, I'm out of college.

Kid: Oh, yeah?

Me: Yeah.

I can imagine the look on his face if I had told him I'm 30. This must be how my aunt felt when she was carded on her 40th birthday.

My anti-aging tips: lots of moisturizer and awesome genes.
