Mar. 28, 2005 As of April 4th, I will be 25 years old. So with a week to go until I reach a quarter century, I think I will reflect upon what I have learned. Newborn: If I need anything, I can cry and get it. This will follow me through alot of my life, as I am "daddy's little girl". Age One: Walking is a far better way to get around, unless you knock yourself out on the corner of a coffee table, then it's not so good. Age Two: Babies, i.e. little sisters, come after waiting a long time, and having mom go into a hospital for five days. Age Three: Baby food is good... but only if it's the dessert jar. Age Four: I want to go to school. All the big kids go to school. Age Five: I don't want to wake up early anymore, I don't want to go to school. Age Six: Boys are cute. Age Seven: Boys are really cute, and my dad doesn't like that for some reason. Age Eight: I don't like airplanes, even if it is the fastest way to get to Pennsylvania from Massachusetts. Age Nine: Being the new kid in school is cool. Age Ten: Teenagers are so much cooler than me. Age Eleven: Kissing is fun. Age Twelve: Dad doesn't like that I like kissing. Age Thirteen: "Womanhood" is not all it's cracked up to be, especially if it means that I have to have a period. Age Fourteen: No place on the planet is more intimidating than high school. Age Fifteen: Nudity is not all that cool. Age Sixteen: Telling your parents you lost your virginity is the worst thing you will ever have to say. Age Seventeen: My parents know nothing. Age Eightteen: Without a high school education, McDonald's is your future. Age Nineteen: Sometimes a blond boy on roller blades will steal your heart, and never give it back. Age Twenty: I will never grow up. I will remain youthful and beautiful forever. I know everything. And there is nothing worse than a bad hangover. Age Twenty-One: Marriage is scary. Pregnancy is scary. Separating from your husband is scary. But mom and dad will always be there. Age Twenty-Two: Babies are not Cabbage Patch Dolls. Baby boys are awesome. Age Twenty-Three: My parents really knew what they were talking about. Age Twenty-Four: Toddlers are insane. Baby girls are beautiful. A long, hot shower is wonderful. A good man is hard to find, so when you find one, keep him. Life is tough, but you'll make it through. A smile from your child is the best thing in the world. Age Twenty-Five: Time flies faster when you have kids and you can never get back the time you lost. Yes, I am still young, and yes, I am still slightly naive. But I have learned things, and I am happy that I've lived to see the things I have. I hope my children learn what I learned, just as fast as I have. Happy Birthday to me, and happy birthday to everyone else. ------------ About the author L.J. Chapman: I am a mother of two kids. I run a freelance business online, called LJC Freelance Inc.
