I think looking younger than you are is a common "problem" among us 'downers (I "suffer" from it too

) but you know, if you look younger you can buy children's tickets to everywhere and get everything cheaper... err, nothing, I mean, because that's obviously criminal.

Anyway, it does work the way you said: reputedly, my mum was IDed for a bar (you can get in if you're 18) when she was 24 or something, and now she's soon 43 and many people assume she's in her late thirties and are surprised to find out she's a bit older. So, good for us babyfaces, eh?
