are you married?

i went to the public library today, to use their computers, and print a file with their lovely laser printers.  all of the computers were occupied, so i was waiting around for one to become vacant.  a little girl was standing in the same area i was and asked "are you waiting for a computer too?"  i told her i was.  she then peered up at me and asked "how old are you?"  "i'm twenty" i replied. "TWENTY?!?!?! whoaaaaaaaa!" she exclaimed, "i'm only ten!"  i felt old.  she noticed the keys in my hand and asked incredulously "you can DRIVE?!" i told her i sure could, and that you can learn to drive when you're sixteen!  then she saw one of her friends and went off to talk to her. two computers became free - one right next to the other. so i sat at one computer, and she at the next.  we were doing our own thing, then again the girl turns to me and asks "are you married?" i just laughed and told her i wasn't.  wow, kids sure can make you feel old.  her reaction to my age however was the best. it was funny, but at the same time i was like "hey! i'm not old!"  haha   and was i married! HA!  i'm far from it!  she seemed disappointed when i told her i wasn't.  i guess she just expected someone that old to be married. 

well that's all i've got for today. it's a good one tho.  sometimes i forget what it's like to be a kid - everything seems so much bigger.  until you get there.
