What's even worse is that when I was in 9th grade I had a 4th grader ask me if my brother (who was in 6th grade at the time) was my son!
I know I look older than I am and he looks younger than he is, but not by
that much. it was even creepier when a year or so later an
adult thought the same thing!

I've always wished I had more than just one sibiling. Let that be a lesson to all of you--don't do what my parents did and not
start having kids until your late 30's (granted, they didn't even meet until they were in their mid 30's). Your family will end up very small, and sibilings are a wonderful thing to have when growing up!
I assign dandruff to Mordor. It makes you feel all dirty and unwashed even when you've just taken a shower earlier in the day.
Patina that doesn't work should also go to Mordor. It was supposed to turn my piece for jewelry class black, but instead it worked less and less each time I tried it. The only parts it turned properly black were the ones I was going to have to sand anyway because I didn't want them to be black. Very, very frustrating.
