Real life can be stranger than fiction

I'm not sure which of these stories is funniest:

The 87 year old man who was asked for ID when trying to buy a bottle of sherry

or

The 15 year old boy asked to pay child support for what they believed to be his 12-year-old son!!

I think the one with the fifteen year old takes the cake.

Yep! I think that's my favourite too - it's just hilarious! That boy must have started VERY young to have a 12 year old at 15!! :D

Mayhaps they got their stories crossed and it was the 87 year old who fathered the boy when he was a young 74, and the 15 year old who was in for sherry? *frowns* That sounds just as odd.

*grins* Yep - that would still be pretty odd! But not quite as strange as the 3 year old fathering a child! I love finding strange stories like that! :)

That 'ask for ID at all times' thing really flattered my mom... until the waiter said "yeah, they make us loook at everyone's ID. It sucks when the person is obviously over 50. like you" - she was 48 at the time :)

*giggles hysterically*

Fifteen year old, definitely funnier... :) Ya gotta watch those promiscuous 3 year olds.... :)

Well they do say that kids are growing up quicker these days - I just never realised that it was quite THAT quickly! :D

Yeah, for some reason some places card you no matter what age you are (or look for that matter)!

15 year old...12 year old...how?

I used to work in a supermarket, and they wanted us to ask for ID if we were at all uncertain. It can be pretty hard to judge ages sometimes, so I remember asking a few people who were about 10 years past the legal limit... but 87?? That's just hilarious!

And the thing with the 15 year old is hilarious too! I love strange news stories like that! :D
