Even the movies discriminate on age. Did anyone else ever pass as a child, or try to do so, after one reached the age of having to purchase an adult ticket?
When I had reached 55, the age of being entitled to a senior discount at the movies locally, I was single and dating. I used to never ask for a senior discount on a date so I would not appear cheap or 'old'. At age 56 I had started to date a 37 year old woman who I took to the movies. She knew how old I was, at the box office teased me about it, and insisted I ask for a senior ticket, which I did. Although we only dated a couple years we remain friends and get together from time to time. When she turned 55 I took her to the movies and bought her a senior ticket! Yes, she had to show her ID to get it!
