Sometimes Looking Older Isn't Awesome

I swear to God, this pisses me off so much.

Okay, most of you guys know I am eighteen years old, I'll be nineteen this year. But not all of you know what I look like. Basically, I could pass for twenty or twenty two if I wanted. 

Now at first I thought this was cool, because even when I was sixteen people mistook me for like eighteen or nineteen. Until one specific thing started happening.

Small side note: I live with my grandmother and my mom and my grandma has dementia so she doesn't go to the bathroom anymore and wears adult diapers yada yada yada, and we have to buy baby wipes to clean her with.

Now onto my point.

Every God damn time I go to Walmart, dollar store, target etc. to buy baby wipes, people ask me these questions:

"How's the baby?"

"When is your baby due?"

"Where is your baby?" 

"How far along are you?" 

And then I just stand there like:

-_- ", do I look like I'm pregnant or ever have been pregnant?"

Like, my God, I know I'm fat, but seriously do I look THAT fat? 

And of course you cant cuss people out because it's an honest mistake, so I just politely explain that I dont have a baby and I am, indeed, NOT pregnant and that I care for my elderly grandmother.

But come on, this has been happening to me since I was like fifteen or sixteen years old, it's bound to get old sooner or later. 

In all seriousness when I was fourteen years old, some lady in a movie theatre bathroom thought that my six year old god-niece, Gracie, was my daughter. FOURTEEN.

And then again last October some guy at a parade for Gracie leans over to me and says, "Excuse me ma'am your daughter's shoe is untied." (Interesting fact, her dad who is my god-brother was standing right next to me and started laughing his off)

Bottom line of all of this: I am so sick and tired of people thinking that I'm older than what I am or that I have a child. 

I AM A FOR GOD'S SAKE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD OR WOULD BE PREGNANT IS IF I HAD IMACULATE CONCEPTION, AND IM PRETTY DAMN SURE THATS NOT HAPPENING ANY TIME SOON.

Sorry for my little rant, but I needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

Are you serious? Dude even if you were pregnant they shouldn't ask. It isn't of their business and they are in no position to ask.
i wish i could give you advice somehow but for me is quite the opposite. People tend to decrease my age because of my baby face so i have never gone through something like that >•< i'm so sorry you have to go through that.
