I took off to visit family in ALBERTA this weekend and on the way there was mistaken at the Airport for a CHILD TRAVELING ALONE!  I know I may sound 12 but I've never been told I look it since I was... well... 12! (Last year.)  NO, seriously though, I walked up to the security line and this lady working it looked at me all suspiciously and then she said, "how old are you?"  To which I said, "WHY?" while I was thinking 'HOW RUDE!'  And then she started listing off rules about children traveling alone and I thought it was some sort of weird joke.  I mean maybe when I'm 32 it will be a compliment to be mistaken as being 10 years younger...  But I would like to think I look like a woman not somebody who's excited about starting grade six!  Ha ha.

haha I can't believe that happened to you! Although if only you played along, you could've gotten "wings" from the flight staff and perhaps a ride in the cockpit! ...or at least you could've pursuaded them to let you use your radio background to do the on-board announcements. But then I suppose it might worry the passengers if they thought the pilot was a 12 year old girl. LOL
