Reason # 3 for why ‘It’s Good to be Asian’:
You look younger than you really are for your entire life.
We really are efficient at everything! [end stereotypical remarks; begin actual content]
I have been carded for Rated R movies when I was old enough to rent a car. There is an age minimum of 25 years for most places, which makes no sense since you can BUY a car before then, die in the military, buy cigarettes/alcohol, have children, be in/acquire porn…
Now I’m getting off topic. Shit.
Anyway, last night’s events took the cake:
*knock on door*
I answer the door to find a young man (YM) in his early 20s standing there with a clipboard.
YM: Hi! Um (peeks a look inside), are your parents home?
Me: Uhhh…no…I mean, I own this house.
YM: Oh! I am so sorry! You just look REALLY young!
Then he rambled on about getting a free estimate for my windows and siding and kept talking about my “husband.” Oh the assumptions people make!
