I was in a rather large meeting today when someone across the table suddenly asked me, "Jenna, are you engaged?"

"No," I replied, "I'm married. Two years now!"

This answer was met by a Very Shocked Look.

Silence...then, "How old are you?"

I debated how to reply, but finally settled on the truth. "Twenty-four."

I cannot tell you how awkward it is to divulge one's age in a meeting that is being teleconferenced to three locations across the country.  Particularly when you're divulging said age because no one believes you're old enough to be married, much less for two years already.
