Making friends

Today after a ballet class, another dancer who took the class came up to me just to introduce herself, compliment me, and chat.  I thought she was in her 20s, and though in my experience women don't normally just strike up conversations with strangers for no reason, she was very friendly, so I talked to her for a bit.  When she asked how long I'd been dancing and I responded over 20 years, she was shocked.  Turns out she thought I was a teenager… and she was actually 15.  We were both off on the other's age by about 10 years, and I've been dancing longer than she's been alive.

So what I got out of this: 
A. My moisturizer must be really good.
B. To kids, taking a ballet class together is all the foundation you need to start a friendship.
C. My conversational skills are much better suited to teenage girls who wear fuchsia-colored leggings than they are to adults.
