Ah, kids have no skill in estimating ages. I once talked to a 7-year-old kid who, on hearing I was 24 at the time, insisted that her mother was 23 when she was really 32, and could see no relevant difference between 23 and 32. It was all "old".

My grandma once asked me how old did I think she was - I was about 8 or 9 at the time, and really didn't know her age. I blurted out 80, and she was mortally offended since she was only 66 at the time.

Out of the mouths of babes, silly things come at least as often as profound ones. :-) Since I haven't met you yet, all I can go by is your photos, and by those, I can say that you don't look like you're 30 yet.

Sure, kids are definitely the last people you want to ask if you want to learn someone's age. I didn't take it seriously, I'm still laughing about it. :)

But you know, he was right, you don't look like a day over 40.

In fact, you don't look like a day over 30 either - unless meeting me have caused premature ageing. ;)

As far as guessing ages, I'm quite crap though.

I'm crap at guessing ages as well, I always try to avoid it.

She'll always be my hot young babe!

I'll always be younger than you, that's for sure. :p
