twenty

I think about turing 20 as a completely irrelevant and useless age. Sure, you're not a teenager anymore, but you stop associating with being a teenager when you become an adult at 18. You're not 21 yet, which is truly the most important age in sight to most of us. Something about 20 gets me though. Maybe it's the fact that some of us never got to turn 20. Yesterday would have been Mike's 20th birthday. Twenty is probably a big deal to a mom who doesn't have her only son anymore. Twenty is a bigger deal to her than it is to any person actually turning twenty.
