In the San Francisco airport waiting for my thirty minutes delayed flight, I noticed a teenaged boy circling me. He finally got up his nerve, sat down beside me, and asked (in a voice obviously pitched lower than he was normally capable of), "So, are you traveling alone?" I said yes and he proceeded to give his best shot to flirting, until I asked, point blank, "How old are you?" Fourteen, as it turns out. There was a jaw-dropping moment on his side when I established my age as 24, but he recovered quickly, asking if I wanted to hear a joke, although he was very worried it might be a bit off-color for me.
Anyway, what with this and the pool-playing Liverpool school trip in my Barcelona hostel, we seem to have established that I am a. still not looking anywhere near my age, and b. hot shit with the extremely illegal crowd. If only pedophilia was my bag, everything would be coming up roses...
