How do you tell how old someone is?
Jan. 23rd, 2020 12:16 pmThis brought to you by two recent experiences.
1. Someone from my Meeting who I often talk to afterwards and get along well with used the phrase "when I had my 40th birthday" the other day, and I had sort of assumed that she was somewhere in her early-to-mid 30s. Hopefully I didn't seem too surprised at the time!
2. We saw some of R's younger friends yesterday and they thought he was in his late 20s or 30s - he is actually 24.
How the hell are you supposed to figure out what age bracket someone is in as an adult? I've never been any good at it. I just seem to have a few fairly wide groups, and I'm clearly not accurate even with them!
