If I would have had that as a kid, it probably would've become a permanent part of me as it would never have left my back and my skin may have assumed that bag was also a part of me.
I ordered backpacks for my kids a few days ago, for next school year, and they are actually excited about them. My son is getting a Minecraft creeper one and my daughter...well, just the coolest backpack ever in her opinion...

Yeah, when you're young you tend to be upset when taken for younger but once you're older you wish you were still taken to be younger than you are.

I stopped at a Tim Horton's to get a coffee a few days ago and gave the girl behind the counter my re-usable mug. It has a picture of my son on it in his hockey gear. She said "Aw, he's so cute! Is he your grandson?" And I said "Yes. Yes he is."

Hey. Give him some credit. Those are his lunch bag and thermos and he didn't say he was carrying them. He said his school bag which is quite obviously this:

It's so grown up it has weapons on it. Why he'd be mistaken for younger who knows?
I had a student (fourth year at university) who had a Ninja Turtles backpack like this (without the weapons). He also had a skateboard that was about the size of a surf board...

It was actually kind of nice a few years ago when Indiana started requiring carding of EVERYONE to buy alcohol...the last time I had been carded was when I was 18...

A couple of years ago I went into a liquor store, and the clerk asked for my ID.

I smiled as I handed it to her and said something like, "It's been a long time since someone asked for my ID. Thanks." She said, "Oh well, I just wanted to see if you qualify for our senior citizens discount. You don't." :mad:

True story (the kind that actually happened).....
Back when I was in me early 50s, I did some snowboarding.
Some random guy asked my daughter if I was one of the guys who invented snowboarding.

Untrue story (what I wish happened).....
My daughter responded with, "Yes, He & Abe Lincoln started off using barrel staves.".

I remember, as a kid, thinking people my parent's age were old. Now I'm older than they were in regards to my children and, so far, they amaze me. I remember telling my son someone had died at the age of 47 and he said that was so young. Of course, give them time, let them become teens, and I'm sure I'll be ancient. :p

You'll always be a young whippersnapper to me.

A lady I know has a son in the same class as my daughter and she probably gets taken as his grandmother frequently. Her "late in life" baby. His older siblings are in their twenties and he has a niece about the same age as him that he plays with.

The laws of physics and gravity can be cruel task masters
Trump has promised to repeal them.
Sanders has promised to tax them.
Hillary denies that they exist.
Cruz decried them as ungodly.
Gerald Ford obeyed them.
And Obama never heard of them.

I didn't catch that one. I know the liquor store I go to started carding everyone every time. And I know the first time I was carded for cigarettes was the day before my 18th birthday, at the same gas station I had been getting them from since I was 16.
