If you're 15, you're thinking about sex.
I didn't really start thinking about sex until I was 16.
Yeah, I think I hit puberty a bit later than most boys....
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In other news of the weird: Farmers Wants a Wife? I guess it's only doable to do this as a reality show if the farmer resembles an abercrombie model.

Because books.
And I'm not the expert because I don't have a daughter, but I'd probably okay a 12-year-old wearing a little makeup for a truly special occasion.
Working at the mall, I see a lot of girls in the 12-15 range wearing makeup. Which is the thing with girls that age -- mom may not okay it, but if mom isn't with you, it's a whole different story.

Is this the most amazing thing ever? Or not?
...high-heeled shoes that easily transform from wobbly 3.25-inch stilettos to practical pumps with 1.5-inch heels

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think they look kind of ugly in the low-heel mode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I seem to have no grey hair. That would show up like thin patches in my stubble, I guess. I haven't had the energy to bleach it again since my cutting snafu a few months ago.
The guy that collapsed yesterday was 62 years old. He immediately made me feel very protective of my parents, who are both a fair bit older. But they are in much better shape than he is. I'm so not prepared to deal with when they're not, but I figure I'm incredibly lucky that I have a mother that complains she does the aging for all the family and still looks good for 68. My dad's just a freak.
But I'm old too, dammit. I just hope not to be collapsing in the street.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
They pretty much predicted that with Jennifer Aniston's "Do Me Pump" spoof ad on The Edge back in the early 90s.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think the "scandal" is ridiculous. I think it's partly media-manufactured, and partly mass hypocrisy - how many people let their 15 year olds, or their 12 year olds, wear makeup?
I got my period when I was 10. My mom took me to the drugstore andlet me pick out a blush and a mascara, which I thought was AWESOME. It made me feel a little bit better, anyway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Weirdly Allyson, me too. Like, the whole story and the age and everything. And I pretty much have been wearing make-up daily, without fail, since I was in 7th grade.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got my period when I was 16. Which meant my mother could cancel the appointment with the developmental whatever doctor. She sure wasn't keen on my evincing much sexuality up until that point.
Those shoes look potentially neat, but there's now way I'd shell out $200+¹ for a pair of shoes without getting a clearer view of the low-heeled configuration. Every single shot is similarly obscured. And the shoe I liked the most in the video doesn't seem to be for sale anyway.
¹:To be fair, I'm not spending that much on shoes, period. Not even two pairs in one.
