"My name is Amy, and I'm an adult. I suspect that you're too young to understand what 'adult' means, so let me explain. It means that I'm taller than you, and smarter, and that I get to do lots of awesome things, like smoke cigarettes and ovulate. It also means that I like to take naps on airplanes and read my newspaper in silence. These things seem to be very different from the things that you like to do."

-Amy Ozols, "Making Friends" from The New Yorker
