How did I get here?
Does anyone else feel like a huge imposter sometimes? Or, not so much an imposter as a child playing at being a grown-up? Sometimes it feels as though I've been plucked up from making mud pies and playing smurfs, and plopped down into having a child and being expected to raise him and cook and clean and recycle and keep appointments and care about the government and be responsible and I wonder how it is possible that anyone expects me to do these things well. I don't mean to complain about the number of things I have to do, I realize that everyone else has as much or more to worry about than I do. It's only that they seem so much more qualified than I, the 9 year old, am.

Oh ... only every day. I keep wondering when the real grownups are going to show up. Then it hits me ... I'm a real grownup. You are not alone at all. ;-)
Yeah, me too.... not grown-up yet over here.
All the time, Maggie!
Have you seen "Before Sunrise"? That's one of the many (to me) fascinating conversations they have. Ethan Hawke('s character) says he feels like a little kid in a grownup's body, and Julie Delpy('s character) says she feels like an old lady in a young woman's body. I don't really know what she means.
I haven't seen it. Should I rent it?
