S05.E11: A Lock-In, a Weather Girl and a Disgusting Habit - Young Sheldon

Ack! I lost track of time and missed the first ten minutes before I realized it, so I decided to just watch tonight. Spoiling myself anyway. 🙃

Poor Missy still being directed to slouch on the couch and hold her hands in an awkward position. Is this supposed to hide the fact that she is taller than Sheldon or developing??

It doesn't even make sense for them to do that, anyway. I don't think there's anything in already-established BBT universe to suggest that she should look younger than (or equal to) Sheldon at this age, and they are at an age where girls generally look a little older than their male peers. Why hide it? (Someone mentioned in the Conners thread about how they had Mark sitting a lot to hide how tall he's gotten, and they sometimes seem to be doing the same with Sheldon, which also doesn't make sense since as an adult he's tall and thin so it's perfectly plausible that he'd start shooting up around age 12.)

I was 29 the first time I got carded.  What was really weird was I went to a restaurant/bar with a group of friends when I was 27.  I was the youngest in the group (and looked it).  Two of them were in their 50s.  I was the only one that didn't get carded.  I was like, "what was up with that?"

I found whether I got carded depended on who I was with. When I worked retail we'd go out after closing sometimes. If most of the closing crew was older, I didn't get carded. When the group was mostly younger or closer to my age, I did. (I didn't even get carded for my first legal drink, a few days after I turned 21 [and I most certainly did not look it], because I was with my parents.) Georgie has such a baby face I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't, but if he was with an adult...maybe they just assumed he's older?
