CJMMPPTZ...CJMMPT? I think this might be making me feel old. Kind of the last-of-us-still-standing, thing.
Then that got me thinking about the times that people have thought i was older than i really was. that happened a lot to me growing up. Did you guys experience this? (sorry, peter, don't mean to leave you out). It was 1983. Old Capitol Mall, Iowa City. With my friends Nancy and Kirk and we all really wanted to see Flashdance. Rated R. I was the one voted to go buy the tickets. (I was the only one amongst us who carried a purse, tucked in my shirt, and could apparently be convincing at well, being convincing). ...I won't wreck the movie by telling you how it ends, just in case you haven't seen it yet.
So, I ask the group (and again, Peter, take your time): When was a time you had to act older than you were (legal or otherwise*) - or when someone thought you were older than you were?

I honestly dont think i have tried to act older then my age. If anything, i think i strived to be younger at times. Especially these days. Although, my parents did take my sister and i to a drivein movie in our station wagon, and we were suppose to sleep in the back during the film. It was Saturday Night Fever. I remember watching it over the edge of the seat until our dad would look in the rear view mirror. BUSTED!
I rarely got to pretend because I was always smaller than the other kids and it was a dead give away.
However, I would have to say when I went to school in Washington and had a fake ID. It said I was from Virginia, I think. We used it to get into bars and buy beer at the local BP gas station.
Another time was when I was really little and convinced my parents to let me watch Eddie Murphy Raw.
