19 Problems Only People Who Grew Up With A Babyface Will Understand
13. Being Handed Crayons On A Flight... When You're 16
On a not dissimilar note to the last entry, you're on a flight to enjoy a couple of weeks in the sun. You relax in your seat and take out the reading material to look at the television listings. Mr Bean - that's always on - something with Judith Chalmers taking you around the resort you're flying to, a few episodes of The Baldy Man and, if you're lucky, some decent and relatively new films to pass the time. The stewardess, however, has other ideas. Seeing this youngster sat in his/her seat with his/her innocent little face, she walks by with a few colouring sheets and some crayons... and gives them to you. Thanks, most appreciated.
12. Getting A Lollipop At The Dentist... When You're 16
The last of this kind of entry sees us visiting the dentist. You brush your teeth regularly, floss daily and use mouthwash on a regular basis and the dentist praises you for impeccable dental hygiene - he might give your teeth a bit of a clean for aesthetic purposes, but that's nothing - you're a growing young adult, a bit of discolouration is only natural. ...And then he gives you a lollipop for being a good boy/girl. Need you remind him that he's got all of your details on file and KNOWS HOW OLD YOU ARE? Unbelievable.
11. Your Passport Looking Nothing Like You When You Finally Age
Everybody ages - that goes without saying. However, most people age in accordance with their actual age and, as such, by the end of the ten year period in which a passport is valid, you're at least recognisable as the same person who posed a decade earlier. However, if you had a babyface growing up when you do actually hit the period of your life when your appearance alters to that of an adult, your passport photo ends up looking like a completely different person. "Are you sure this is you, sir/madam?" Sigh.
