Francie always seemed a little older than her real age, huh?
Peter Berkowitz has written a pretty entertaining opinion editorial on the aging of Generation X. It appears in the Louisville Courier (Kentucky). Here is an excerpt:
I've tried to be young. It just wasn't for me. There's not much worse than not knowing what's going on, not knowing who you are, being at the mercy of so many cruel factors — parents, teachers, bosses. I'd rather be old, rich and fat than get really stoned while the Foo Fighters play in a field behind me...Clearly, I didn't peak in my teens. I'm finally happy now, in my 30s. I did what I guess you'd call “settling down.” No more psychodrama romances, no more staying out until 4 a.m. drinking away the pain. Now we have cats...

Yes! I knew there was a reason I was always drawn to grandma clothes. It's b/c I was born to be an "old soul". My elder daughter is the same. But the younger is youth personified. Holding tightly to her dolls she sheds tears as her best friends grow up all around her.
