I uses to believe that when you turned 20 you suddenly became boring and couldn't do anything silly any more. I finally discovered otherwise when my cousin Chris told me he was 24 and he had played lego, climbed up trees and sucked on my other cousins dummy as a joke. So I then decided that he was still a kid and some people just remained babies forever.... That really scared me as I still wet the bed.
