Act Your Age Means What Exactly

today in traffic someone yelled “act your age lady”.
He does not know me.
I am acting my age.
What other age could I possibly act?
It made no sense to me whatsoever.
I stuck out my tongue and gave him a finger gesture
that was not a wave.
I could be mature but chose not to.

LOL Caren. You were certainly acting your age of mind and pooh on that jerk. Sometimes, when drivers get feisty with me and give ME the finger, I smile and wave at them, pretending I thought they were waving. Love this.
