Nice stories! :) Made me smile though I know it must be very annoying for you now. But as you said you will be thankful about it 10 years later and perhaps looking back to this post and made you smile too.
I was on the other side when I was a teenager. I was only 13-14 but people kept thinking I was 18 or over which was nice if I tried to go into a bar,restaurant... :)
I grow up in Europe where we have some big shopping malls (kind of a wholesale markets) where kids are not allowed, so my friends were never been able to go with their parents, but I was so lucky and without a question they always let me in...:)
Now I am 31 and sometimes I feel very old...:) ENJOY your youth!
Thanks!
Wow lol!
