    That proves my theory. You look 25. So does the OP.

    @littlemissbgiff looks like she is 24 ;)

    Thank you, darlins! xoxo ;)

    Now that I'm 40 I have to watch out for "sleep injuries"....like when you go to bed and you are fine, then you wake up and you threw out your back by sleeping, or you pulled a muscle in your shoulder by rolling over. I don't remember that happening when I was 20.

    can you even remember 20?

    I remember, maybe seven things

    show off

    Being comfortable with yourself is great, but more often I see it from grown women acting like kids.

    So I do stuff - gymnastics, trapeze, play at the playground, organize pick up games of duck, duck goose, slide down the slide, play on the monkey bars, do splits in the air on the trampoline, do back flips into the pool.

    The other moms sit and play on their cell phones and gossip with each other.

    Is this what you mean?

    Not at all. Thanks for playing though.

    So you mean just emotional immaturity.

    Kinda like that story in the news recently of the teen who overdosed while his mom and grandma partied on. That kind of immature.

    I think immature would be if the mom or grandma overdosed like a teen. Sounds to me like the mom and grandma were rallying like true adults.

    Granted very, very irresponsible ones.

    I'm sure they were on something as well. She wanted to be the fun mom though. Nothing says fun like a crap ton of heroin.

    Im 42, and I have more fun, party more, look better, feel better, than I ever did when I was 20. If I knew back then what I know now, I would not have wasted that last 20 years. When your 20 you figure you have the whole rest of your life to do, and see everything you ever wanted. When you get to 40 your realize your life is half over, and you have not done anything you wanted to do while you were 20 and 30. So you make a point of realizing your dreams, while you can.

    I am pretty sure that nobody who is 20 is saying 40 is the new 20. They just think people in their 40s are old.

    But at 47, I don't feel much older than I did in my 20s. And when i take off my glasses and everything is fuzzy, I don't think I look much older either.
