My group is having a joint concert with a high school in town, and at rehearsal the director asked us to talk to the kids mixed in among the group. Like, find out how long they had been playing, tell them how long we had been playing... here was my attempt at talking to the high school kid sitting next to me.
Me: How old are you?
Kid: 14.
Me: Oh... I've been playing longer than you've been alive.
Kid: Yeah, I figured as much.
Thanks for re-establishing the fact that I'm an old woman, kid.

I don't get it...
Context?
Sorry about the confusion. It's always difficult when you forget your audience. Here's the point I guess: women, in general, don't typically enjoy being told that they look old. I guess that's why I thought it was funny.
