Customer said I look no older than 13. I was too stunned to speak.

If I show up at the museum and claim I'm under 16, can I get in free?

Concession is free though.

I pretended to be a child when I went visit Sydney and a friend took me to the Aquarium there.

I went through as a child to get a cheap ticket, I didn’t speak at all as it would have given my age away, my friend did all the talking.

I also wore a hat low to cover my face.
