almost 24 going on 42
sarahisrad: I am fairly appalled that my “New York age” is 19. I don’t really understand how that is humanly possible, especially considering I’m about to turn 30. Find out if you’re as immature as I am. I just took the quiz to find that my New York age is 42. hmm.
Me: i think it's in the mom job description to help daughters learn quilting, though, right?
Mom: Quilting and crocheting. Just like the daughter job description includes computer tech support.
