hey, my manchild is 33 and i'm 23. granted, there are days i desperately wish he were indeed a card carrying member of my cohort, but then i'm glad he's not. of course, if he were a little younger, it would probably be a bit easier to teach him new tricks...such as how the dishwasher opens up and can be loaded time and time again! or, how the sweeper works...or my favorite, that the seat on the toilet certainly does return to its "seated" position which prevents my butt from falling through into the toilet when i overlook that it has been raised before i take a seat.
