Still a Kid

Talking to Hosp on aim, and an interesting idea came up. I don't feel like I'm an adult, even though I've been one now for 10 years. Full fledged, working full time, raising two kids, paying my bills adult.

Yet, I still find myself wanting ice cream and chocolate milk, and not wanting to share with the kids. I don't remember my mom being like that with me.

Are we kids for a lot longer now? Are we less responsible? Or, are we able to be young longer because people are living longer?

I know speaking for myself, as I'm about to turn 28 next month... I still have the same mentality as I did 10 years ago when I was 17/18. My priorties are the same, having fun is far more important than anything else.

For me I think it was growing up watching my father slave his life away working long hours and commuting through Long Island traffic to new Jersey everyday. House, kids, picket fences it's the very last thing on my mind... I'm much more concerned about Yankee & Ranger tickets and pint prices at the local watering hole.
