This storye doth not start wyth 'blah blah blah'

Let me tell you a little story in three parts.

Parte The Fyrst: 13 Julye 2007

Our heroyne and her fammilye did venture unto that happy land called The Bob Evans fore a layte dinnere. And they did enter into The Bob Evans, whereupon the door-master, guardian of the entrance, did ask how many were dyning in their partye. They did answer four, to which the door-master did respond in question, "Do you need any children's menus?" Our heroyne was well put out, for it had been nigh on three yeares since the last tyme she was accosted with suche a queystion, but the querye was met with laughtere nonetheless.

Parte The Seconde: 14 Julye 2007

Our heroyne did venture unto a Circle K shoppe the followinge daye for to buy a refreshing milk of chocolate. When she confronted the shopmaiden with the wares she did wishe to purchase, the shopmaiden did address her thusly: "And is this all you want, dear?" Now our heroyne did begin to fret, for this shopmaiden could not have been older than her own years (and was most certainly younger, if our heroyne did judge correctly), and yet she did address her in the manner usuallye reserved for smalle childes!

Parte The Thyrde: 25 Julye 2007

Our heroyne, through meanes which are far too obscure to descrybe in detail in this ludycrous way of wryting, did find herself walkinge in the woods yesterdaye with a groupe of young Korean persons of a scholarly bent, with whom she was encouragede to converse so that they myghte practyce their Englyshe (as you may tell from this eloquent passage, our heroyne is well skilled in speaking Englyshe!). The young Korean personnages did ask our heroyne her age, and she offered to them that she had neerlye reached the age of seven-and-twenty yeares. O! The young persons did laugh and did announce that our heroyne was oldere than they would have imagyned from her appeyrance.

As they ventured through the foreste, the young Korean persons did turn their conversationes to the study of persons on the acting-stage of moving pictures. They did comment to one Amerycan that she did resemble a troubador known as Beyoncé, although the resemblance was not acute (it was more lykely that they had not experyence with manye Amerycan faces). Then they did turn to our heroyne to do the same comparyson. They did confer amongst themselfes and announce to our heroyne: "The actor you look most like is Dakota Fanning!" Our heroyne was disappoynted, e'en when the young persones did tell her that this acting-person Dakota Fanning is quyte popular in their place of home. Our heroyne thought she myghte have preferred Beyoncé over Dakota Fanning.

Epylogue

Our heroyne did decide that she should stop wearynge her locks in the pony-tail style and did take her head to the barber-surgeon to have her hayre cut (and perhaps a regymene of leeches applyed)! She hoppes that thys will allay the confusione o'er her age.

I have a girl friend who often gets mistaken for a guy, even though she looks girly. And another friend who was once called "little fella" when we were at the gas station. Would you rather be younger or a boy?

Say there, whipersnapper! Why don't you take this nickel and buy yourself some all-day suckers and sarsaparilla? Then I can show you my pennyfarthing bicycle! Nice sailor suit, by the way....

Embrace it!

When you've got Asians telling you you look young, then you know you look young. Those guys are always 20 years younger than they look.

Thee myght have to wear big glasses and makeup to appear older. Draw some age lines in around your eyes and mouth. You're welcome!

Chrispy, you sound like an old-timey pedophile. I don't want to see your "pennyfarthing bicycle," thank you very much.
