I’m 51. I’m *still* looking around with enormous, big eyes saying, “When did I become a grown up? I don’t remember that happening!” :-D

It takes about fifty years for a human being to fully grow up. Our society's refusal to recognize that fact leads to a lot of dysfunctional behavior. That's why in many other cultures, children are shaped and guided (if not actually raised) by their grandparents.

It really does take a village...just not the Board of Commissars that Hillary has in mind. ;)
