Right! It's best to be honest for that very reason. On a similar note, I've always thought it was interesting how the media always adds ages after names like so:
Myra Higginson, age 52, was caught stealing stuffed chickens from the local grocery store on Sunday. Witnesses say she was cursing at the stockboys and whistling Neil Diamond songs in a barely-audible manner shortly before the incident...
I always wonder why we're defined by our ages instead of something like, say, the color of our eyes or the size of our shoes. I think they're equally ridiculous ways of categorizing people.
