Always Comes In Threes

(I’m stocking shelves near the electronics section as my coworker talks to a father and daughter about tablets.)

Coworker: “Well, you could probably get away with the smallest model, seeing as you’re, what, 16?”

Daughter: “Er, actually I’m 19.”

Coworker: “…oh. Sorry, you looked younger.”

Daughter: “Haha, that’s okay. It happens all the time.”

Coworker: *turns to me* “You’re 19, right? What kind of tablet do you think would be best for her?”

Me: *in mock outrage* “I’m 22!”

Coworker: *face-palm*

Father: *laughing* “At least he’s consistent!”
