What the...

I was just carded while buying beer. I didn't think anything of it, just smiled and pulled out my B-permit to reveal that I'm in fact 25 (almost). Then as I was casually sharing the news with Nathan (it was my first time being carded here) and joking about how it's ok to look 21 for the rest of your life, I saw a smile creep up on his face,

"The drinking age is 16 here for beer, Tanya. He thought you looked younger than 16?"

dangit.
