I'm in my early 20s, and I had the following conversation at a party the other day:

    Me: So, where do you work?

    Her: Oh, I teach at X High School.

    Me: Oh, really? I went to X High School...

So, to answer your question, now that my friend group includes teachers from my high school, but no high school students, I don't think I have any choice but to see myself as an adult. Ugh.
