Was this colleague a lady?

I hate being asked questions about how old people look. I am utter crap at guessing ages. I just go 20 years younger and make a joke out of it. Get's me out a tight spot every time.

I made the mistake of "Was it a big one?" when a larger (and louder) than life lady was talking about her birthday bbq.

The lady in question was 36.
