My daughter Adyson. I am afraid she may be becoming a Somali Pirate.

On a day to day basis, I am questioned on my age, because to some I look very young. Recently I was asked if was still in school. I asked, "Do you mean college? The individual responded, "You've already been to college?"

It doesn't bother me that I look younger than others, sometimes it can be annoying, but I keep one thing in mind. That is when people my age are 40 and 50-years-old and beginning to show it, maybe I will still look 25.

I will be 27-years-old at the end of this year, which is still young to some, but old to younger people. My brother and sister, who are twins and graduating high school this year, joke with me regularly calling me an old man. I always laugh it off because I call my father an old man regularly, who calls his older brother "old man." I can not wait until my 8-month-old daughter becomes old enough to call my brother and sister old. It's little things like that that put a smile on my face.

Adyson would never think of being a pirate. But I bet she'll call you old before she does Jase and Jena :)
