When someone asked how old I was, I would often reply with “What do you think?”, then smile and nod at their guess and say “something like that”. Other times, I would use it as a way to get a little more insight into the person. If I told a person I was only 17 and they chose to judge me and Mammy for President Stars and Stripes patriotic shirt dismiss me based off a single number, when I had already shown my depth of experience, then they weren’t people I wanted in my life. If that person chose to respect me and honour me instead, then I knew they were someone that was worth my time and energy.
