7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 20, 22

what could these numbers mean??

At age 7 you aren't quite baptized. But you put on your favorite flower shirt and take your puppy on a walk and have the best day ever.

At age 9 you haven't quite reached the double digits. But you put on your AWESOME new shoes and take your dog on a walk, teach him a new trick, and have a very good day.

At age 11 the double digits are old news. Now you just want to wear a bra and join young womens because that is MUCH cooler than primary. And you're starting to realize that almost everything is your parents fault. Down to the fact that your dog bit the neighbor and so you had to get rid of him. Throw a big enough fit though, and next thing you know you have a new puppy and you are convinced the world is set right.

At age 15 you are, technically, worthless. You know how to drive, for the most part, but you can't go anywhere without mommy or daddy in the seat next to you. You can't quite date, can't quite drive but you sure as heck think you are old enough to do anything and you hate your parents because of it.

At 17 you have now been driving and dating for a year. That's old news, you're awesome. Now you aren't quite graduated and you aren't quite an adult and you're not quite sure if you can be tried as an adult or not in court. But you think you are old enough to do anything and you have almost stopped blaming your parents for not having you just a year sooner. You're manipulation skills are now through the roof. You now have a dog and a puppy!

At 20, the beloved and much anticipated birthday, you aren't quite a REAL adult. Because the real ones still scare the crap out of you when they talk to you. You can't quite gamble and you can't quite drink (neither of these apply but oh well). Real adults think that you should act like an adult but they still will treat you like you are fresh out of high school. You're somewhere between a feshman and a junior in college. You have stopped blaming your parents for all the things that went wrong and now realize how much they actually did right. Except that they let your puppy turn into an old dog while you were away at college.

22 is just the number of cop cars i saw today exiting the freeway and now i wish to know why.


And thank you everyone for making my birthday just glorious :). It was great from the second it started to the second it ended!
