so I found this amuzing survey on another forum, on age approperate milestones or activies and what age they shold corrsospond with. I don't recall what this person was getting at, if its for survey's sake or a study or prehaps they are upset because other peer's parents were more awesome for this.
Granted I would love to share mine but I did alredy on two forums, the one I found it at and one where I ganked and posted, plus I'd love to stay here and suikox might or might not be as touchy as the others. It's hard not to "be an ass' when you see these things answerd time and time again with laughable truthfull answers (like when kids can date, go ahead tell me you seriously mean 8 yrs old)
so here we go, have fun play nice?

I'll say it again here though, I found it highly amuzing when one said "13" for the drinking and drugs thing, another "16" for marraige and children.
more amuzing was the notion of "whens to young/good age to start being depressed"? as if you can help that like pubertiy?
"my 12 yr old is too fat how can I make her aneroxic, shouldn't she be such by now". My answer to those questions. _________________ few runes short of a set of 27
