When I was about seven or eight, I was convinced that as soon as I hit a certain age, I would be indoctrinated into the "Secret Society of Adults." There I would get to choose my destiny and would be told the answers to all of life's mysteries: Who is God? What happens to dead people? How do you make babies? Why is my sister such a brat? I was really upset when I found out last year this wasn't true!
