Peers.

There's a part of me that forgets I really don't have too many peers here.  Peers being defined as people my same age.  It can be extended to include people my same age and same life experiences (like when I say NKOTB, there's no doubt as to what I'm talking about).  I never really notice it too much (the whole lack of peers thing), except when it comes to nights such as the one I just had--when I'm suddenly confronted with the realization that oh my goodness my family car is older than you. 

A group of us were playing a game tonight, a question-and-answer sort, with most of the questions landing predictably on feelings and relationships with the opposite gender. When you realize you're sharing things that even your own peers don't know, you have to kind of laugh.  You also laugh when it comes time to ask a person the classic question of who they 'like.'  Who knew that this kind of question can still make a person giddy even in their late twenties.
