flattery or ignorance?

Guy in elevator at City Hall: "Are you an intern?"

Me: "No. I'm a summer law clerk."

Guy: "Oh. So you're still in highschool?"

Me: "Um, thanks for the compliment, but I'm in law school."

Guy: "That's not highschool?"

Elevator: "Ding"

Me: "That's my floor. Have a good day!"

I don't know if he was serious or not, but I was flattered to know he thought I was a highschool student.

I used to hate it when people thought I was younger than I actually am. Now, I get really upset if the waiters don't card me when I order a drink.
