The legal age to buy alcohol in any grocery stores is 18. And yet even so I was carded today in E. Leclerc as I was buying 2 bottles of wine for a little get-together Darryl and I are hosting tomorrow night.
I didn't really know how to feel about being asked to produce an i.d. so I just decided to view the entire thing as a "cultural experience" - a label I have been giving to a lot of things lately when it seems easier to move on rather than to ponder.
So I handed her my Virginia's driver's license and had it handed back to me a few seconds later. It wasn't until I was walking out the store that I realized I'd given her was in English, a slight faux pas on my part. So I guess it was a true cultural experience after all!
