Why doesn't Aunt Jennifer tell anyone how old she is?
My aunt Jennifer is a__n__a_c_t_r_e_s_s_. She must be __a_t_l_e_a_s_t__ thirty-five years old. _In__s_p__it_e__o__f_t_h_i_s_, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to __ta__k_e__p_a_r_t__in__ a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of _s_e__v_e_n_t_e_e__n_. In the play, she must appear in a__b_r_i_g_h__t_r_e_d__d__re__s_s_ and __lo__n_g__b__la__c_k__s_to__c_k_i_n_g__s. Last year in another play, she had to wear _s_h__o_r_t_s_o__c_k_s__ and a bright, o__r_a_n_g__e_-_c_o__lo__re__d_dress. If anyone ever asks her _h__o_w___o_l_d__s_h_e__i_s_, she always answers, “Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!”
