Yesterday I completely blew my lab partner's mind.  Not because of my metal prowess (or lack there of, I messed up the same test tube twice in 2 minutes) or razor sharp wit.  Nope, none of that phased him.
But we were talking during lab and he asked how old I was.  Since I wasn't in the mood to play the guess-how-old-I-am-game, I just told him: 27.
And that completely blew his mind.  Seriously, he repeated "27!" in disbelief about a 1008 times.  
I eventually asked him, "you ok?  Did I just rock your world over there?"  
"Yeah, kinda"  
And then the next hour of lab was "what's it like to be 27?" question hour.  I told him I was supposed to be a grown up but I had no intention of doing so any time soon.  And obviously I was old enough to buy beer (not that I buy beer that often, but I also play "I order you pay" a lot).  And no, I wouldn't.  And I know that officially puts me in the uncool zone, but what the hell do I care?  I'm old.
