How old do I look?

C at Crumbs

I know a common problem for us Asian people is getting mistaken for a kid.  My cousin went to the dentist and was asked where her guardian was, and she was 29 years old!  J & I always get commented about how young we look when we meet brides.  I also get it a lot at work—but of course I’m sure that working at Crumbs with an apron and bandana doesn’t help.  But I get tired of  hearing those comments of “Oh this was way before you were born!” (when I know exactly what they’re talking about) or “what are you studying?”

I know it’s supposed to be a somewhat compliment that we don’t look like old ladies, but at the same time I hope that they’re taking us seriously like adults.

However, I love shocking people — especially when I throw out that I’m married, which seems bumps you up a few more notches in the Responsibilty Ladder. (hehe, I do that at interviews a lot… I love seeing the raised eyebrow right after I say “ohh….my husband.“)

In the end I know I do it too—I mistake people all the time about their age, which is why I NEVER assume I know! Just treat kids, students and adults all the same— ya know?

On a fun note, here are some Michael Jackson themed cupcakes we decorated for a client. It was so fun thinking about different themes!!!
