It's no surprise that Baby Yoda has taken over much of the internet. What may be a surprise is that I often get jokes from my cousins that I must be of Baby Yoda's species or that I will look like Baby Yoda when I am 50. This stems from my "youthful" appearance, but mostly from an experience we had a few years ago.
Once upon a time, when I was still in my mid-20s, I visited my aunt and uncle and cousins over the summer. We went to a restaurant while I was visiting. When the waitress asked for my order, I ordered a normal meal. And then she turned to my uncle and asked, "Can she order off the adult menu?" My uncle was confused but said yes, so I was allowed to eat an adult meal. We joked about it during dinner and were wondering how old the waitress thought I was. The funny thing about it was that she was probably younger than me as well.
My cousins all ordered from the not adult menu, and each kids' meal comes with a sundae. So, near the end of the dinner, the waitress brings out the sundaes. And she gave me one and said, "I ordered one for you too, so you wouldn't feel left out." So I ate my sundae as the 12-year-old she thought I was.

My aunt, uncle, and cousins now have a running joke that I am actually the oldest kid in that family. So whenever my cousins are arguing who is the favorite child, I have to put in a vote for myself. This year, we finally got family pictures with all four children, and I was sent the family Christmas card.
