I walked into the book/teacher resource room one day last week to work on the computer during my planning time. I could tell I was being looked at quizzically by the support staff beside me, but I chalked it up to not being in that particular school very often this year. After a minute or two, I turned to her to ask a question.
She looked at me for a few seconds and then blurted out, “I thought you were a student here. I thought you were about 14, 141/2.” I laughed, and told her I was about twice that. “Oh,” she replied. “I was just about to ask you if you were allowed to be in here.”
Later that day there was a school-wide time of DPA (daily physical activity). The instructions were for the older students to team up with the younger. As I was looking around to make sure all the students were partnering up, a girl in grade one or two grabbed my arm and asked “Will you be my partner?”
Talk about insult to injury.

Oh, Bec, someday it will be a good thing to look young - like in about 8 years when you look 25 instead of 35. I suppose your short stature doesn't help either, hey?
