Rude

At work today we were all telling our ages (which loses its appeal after the age of about 23). Here's a snippet of conversation that took place:

Co-worker #1: So Aimee, how old are you?

Me: I'm 27.

Co-worker #1: Oh. (Semi-long pause) So what have you been doing all this time?

Co-worker #2: Ya know, Co-worker #1, that's really kind of rude to say to someone, especially in that tone of voice.

Co-worker #1: Oh. I didn't mean it that way.

I really love being a nontraditional student.
