Am I a grown-up or just a kid with a grown-up job

Sometimes I wonder what is going through peoples minds...
Like for instance...
Sometimes when I am around adults who have seen me grow up I feel like they still view me as that..just a kid.
I know that they do not mean to and I know that it is probably an unconscious action, but sometimes it really burns me up.

I am still waiting to get to eat at the adult table at Thanksgiving and Christmas. That could be a blessing in disguise though, b/c I have one relative who likes to ask me at family dinners (in front of EVERYONE) "So, Anna how is your Love life?"
Ok, those who know me know that there are certain things in my life that I only discuss with certain people, and would rather die than talk about in front of Aunts, Uncles and the whole gammot. And who refers to it as your "love life" anyway?

I have another family member who likes to try and set me up on dates with anyone...and I mean anyone. Once they tried to set me up with a missionary from Africa who came to do a presentation at their church. They actually went as far as giving them one of my realtor business card. Humiliation.
I mean REALLY.....who does that?
Would they do that if I was in my 40 or 50s?....probably not
What makes them think it is ok to do that at 20?

My parents do it as well...my dad more than my mom. This summer my dad, mom, Aunt June, Uncle John and I were standing in the driveway. They were about to go eat lunch, but I was just going to eat some leftover spaghetti that was in the fridge. Well, my dad made sure to inform me that I needed to heat it up in the microwave before I ate it...for at least a couple of min. Thanks dad...I would never have thought of that...glad you told me.
Here is another one...
It drives me up the wall to see that look of fear on new Mother's mothers' faces when they see that I am about to hold their newborn grandchild...(I'm talking about one of my Friend's mom who has known me since I was in 2nd grade). You know the look...the look of dread.... "Ok, Anna, this is how you hold them...place your hands here....do this...do that.." And then they stand there with their hand hovering below the child like your going to get bored in a second and drop the kid.
I have never said it but sometimes I have wanted to say..."You know I have a degree that allows me to physically treat children who have severe medical conditions....but your right, holding a sleeping newborn can be tricky....but I got it"

I love all my family, friends and their families...sometimes they just make good stories.

peace out
