That 'Age' Meme...
At first I scoffed at it because very few of those entries had much to do with 'age' or 'maturity' at all, but curiousity compelled me to see how my marks added up. Now I scoff at it because it's obviously a meme written by someone under 20.

My real age is 35. So do I act 10 years younger than my age? In some aspects, I think I do, but it has nothing to do with anything on this list. I think it's pretty funny to imagine all the entries checked, and read what the author thinks a 41-year old person is like.
