When I was growing up I was small for my age. (Still only 4'10" ). Everyone thought I was younger than I was and I hated it. Even as a young adult I got mistaken for a child. I consoled myself by thinking I would love people thinking I was younger than I looked when I got older. But alas, that never happened. When I got to the age when I wanted look younger than I was, my looks caught up with my age!
