Picture this: it's mid-December. We're crazy busy Christmas shopping. We find a good deal (of course) on Rock Band so we run out to Best Buy one night to buy it. We're at the register, a male college age kid is ringing us out.
College kid: Is this for you or your child?
Us: Um, for us.
Holy crap! This kid thinks we're old enough to have children of Rock Band playing age*? A five-year-old can't really play Rock Band - it's safe to assume you'd have to be older. Now, technically** we could have a ten-year-old. But good grief, do we really look that old to where it's a safe assumption? I'm still clinging on to my 20s!
Old enough to have a ten-year-old...Harrumph.
*Remember that in LA we're young to even be married. People are like 35-40 before they start having kids.
**Sometimes I wish I had kids earlier. Think about it - a ten-year-old would be more than half way to being 18 and out of the house! At this rate, we're gonna be 60 before the kid leaves and we have our carefree lifestyle back.

** totally hear you there.
I think it's one more hash mark in the Not Have Kids column.
