O traveled with my mom and, at the airport, the policeman “husband and wife?”. I still don’t know if I look too old or my mom too young.

It could be worse, your roommate could have been 23

My wife and I are less than a year apart. People have assumed she's my daughter before. Not a fun feeling.

Once I was touring a university with my grandfather and I heard our guide talk to someone about how "her father is in the toilet right now" and I had to clarify that he was actually my grandfather 😭

I've had the opposite happen. At the time, I was 35, and I was taking my foster son, who was 16, to buy a suit for a formal dance. We went to the counter and he put the suit down and I paid for it. And the clerk gave us a really confused look the entire time. She finally said, "are you like, just a really nice big brother, or...?" He said, "no that's my foster dad." And she kind of looked relieved and said, "ohhhhh I was gonna say you clearly weren't old enough to be his birth father." But like... I was though. Also that was an incredibly weird thing to think, let alone say.

Also for context, I look a bit younger when my face is shaved. But I had a beard at the time, gray patches and all.

My mom was 19 when I was born, and now that I'm old, and she's even older, we get mistaken for husband and wife all the time.

My son was born when my wife and I were both 40, so servers in restaurants would always approach like it was a toddler with... Grandma & Grandpa?
