Acne FOR THE WIN!

It's 6:20pm and the doorbell rings. This is never a good sign. Sure enough, when I open the door, there's a lone young woman with one of those leather-like folders that almost always means magazine subscription sales. I begin to prepare my polite go-away response.

Much to my astonishment, I am greeted with:

"I'm sorry for disturbing you. Is your mom or dad home?"

That beats the phone call I got yesterday, asking if I was "Laura's mother."
I'm a 52 year old college student (again) and I guess they assumed from my name on a list that I live "at home."

Yeah, when I was registering at DeAnza and buying obvious freshman supplies like a decent calculator, I was asked "do you have a high school senior?" Why yes, I keep one in my back pocket all the time. :-) I *am* the right age, though. When my mom was 41, as I now am, I WAS a high school senior. (Maybe junior.)
