Age-Appropriate Questions

(I am going in for an interview for my first job ever. Due to my failures at getting an interview or a second one, I am nervous while the general manager of the store asks me questions. Note: I am 18, while the general manager appears to me to be in her early 30s or late 20s.)

General Manager: “So, how well do you get along with younger kids?”

Me: “I get along with them great, especially kindergarten age.”

General Manager: “…I meant the ones the same age as you, hun.”

(I was embarrassed at the answer I gave. I got the job, and the general manager and I get along extremely well!)
