Today's thing reminded me of how I used to be able to get excellent deals on clothing and shoes because I'm a wee thing. Not as wee as I used to be - but I do still get ID-ed for drinks [as recently as a month ago] and no one believes I'm as old as I say I am [why would I lie?]. I am embracing this at the moment as I like that people think I'm younger - it makes starting over in one's career and having to work from the bottom up a little less pathetic [I'm self-conscious, okay? And I'm working on that, too].
But yeah, I used to shop @ Gap Kids a lot when I was in high school as it was cheaper and some of the clothes fit me better. I stopped doing this when I initially gave up on the Gap and all foreign-produced clothing manufacturers [also their designs didn't quite fit my ever-developing "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" shape]. I have since returned to the Gap and I wanted to spend my xmas gift card there. The adult Gap had nothing of interest and while looking for something else in the kid's section I found something that struck my fancy. It had robots! So I bought myself a shirt in the boy's department @ Gap Kids. I had to go for the size XL as the L wouldn't cover my freakishly short arms. Surprising. I really should have looked @ the boy's clothes before - the girl's department is a nightmare of pink, glitter and pleasant ideals.
This actually marks the first time I've purchased a matching shirt. However, the parents of the person who will be my little twin have been known to read le blog. I think I've already said too much...

People still question my age, too. I was actually carded at a movie theater semi-recently. 18?!?! Really??? And I've totally purchased T-shirts from the boy dept. too! And here I thought that I was the only one...
I've never been ID-ed @ a cinema - I'm not sure they do that at all here. Usually just for cigarettes and alcohol.
Judging by your photo you do look quite young, but it's a good thing!
And I just got the comment today of "oh, well when you are near/in your 30s" - I pointed out I would be 30 this year!
