Dude, I am a DECADE older than you.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
And, Tom is way younger than the original inhabitants of Colonial Williamsburg!

Oh- one of my student's mind was blown because one of my fellow instructors was once my instructor in college, which meant that he was clearly older than I am. She said she just thought of all the grownups as 50!

My 5 year old told me yesterday that the 6th graders at his school are as big as me.

Annoying at 35, rather more charming at 72.

What the hell do they feed the kids at your school? HGH?

I think it's more that when you're 5, and less than 4 feet tall, everyone looks big, and the difference between 11 and 39 is reduced.
Although, you know, Casper is only about 6 inches shorter than one of our (adult) neighbors.

K-Bug reached her current height when she was in 5th grade. Though CJ is still growing. I should really do another height check on him.
He has officially been a part of the search and rescue team for a year now. The new class of probies have their orientation on Saturday while CJ takes his second brown belt test (there are 3 levels of brown before you test for black).
I'm 44. And much happier than I was 10 years ago. 20 years ago I think I was too young to realize I was pretty clueless. I am much more comfortable in my skin now. Are there things I'd like to change, sure. But I don't feel like "OMG my life isn't worth it unless x".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Annoying at 35, rather more charming at 72.
Also, charming from a 10-year-old, less so from a 20-year-old!
