I was volunteering at a food drive at church with my mom. Out of nowhere, a man came up to me and took a picture with just me (not a group picture). I found it strange. Later when I told my mom about this, she told me that he’d said I was pretty (I was wearing a face mask and a cap, which thoroughly concealed my face) and something along the lines of “if only she were older.” I am 15. My mom tried to convince me that it was a compliment.
