Hey whats wrong with being a dirty old lady?
You old?
You look wet behind the ears in your '88 photo

Once I "grew into" my adult face, I've always looked about 10-15 years younger than I actually am. My father's side of the family, which I take after (oh, that horrible, horrible nose! why did I have to get THAT nose?) all looked 'way younger than their actual ages, even when they got elderly. My dad's 89 and people think he's only 65. His sisters were all like that as well.
I told someone recently I was 45 years old and they were absolutely gobsmacked - they thought I was the low end of thirty-something. When I went to my high school reunion in '92, people were asking me if I had a picture in my attic....* In fact, a couple of them dragged me down to the yearbook room, held up my grad photo next to my face, and, except for the style of glasses, nothing had changed. It was scary, because every one of my classmates looked like they'd aged a couple of lifetimes (and it had only been 16 years since we'd graduated!).
