While casually chatting in class this morning, I was a bit surprised to hear one of my students gasp in awe after I announced to the whole class what my age is. You’re only 27 years old! She said out loud in a surprised tone.
It was the first time I heard such a reaction from anyone. What in the world did she mean by that? Am I starting to look older than my age. You’re ONLY 27 years old… but what? I wanted her to continue but she just simply smiled in response. So the moment I got home from work, I started looking at the mirror and inspecting my face. There are indeed lines on my forehead already…wrinkles! I’m not even at my thirties and I’m already forming wrinkles in my face.
Is it alright for me to be having wrinkles at this point in time? Am I already at the age of wrinkles? Is it already time for me to start using anti wrinkle cream?
I mean, I don’t want to be vain or anything nor do I have any desire of staying eternally youthful. All I want is to look my age! Is this what it means to be a daddy professor? Huhuhu!
