Unfiltered Story #287236

(My mother is setting up a doctor’s appointment for me. The office is small enough that all of the staff are at least somewhat familiar with every patient. I have literally never acted my age and my family likes to joke that I’m secretly an old lady.)

Mom: “You know she’s just a month shy of eighteen. Should I come in with her?”

Receptionist: “Nah, she’ll be fine. She’s been forty since forever anyway.”
