14. Somehow, I managed to not get old.

But I'm somewhat mystified when I go to the barber, and am soon covered in little bits of white hair. Where did that come from?

I got up.

16. My mom never caught me at very much.

My sister & I never told her about the White Russian experience in a bar in the 70s. I was 18, sister was 17, 2 white russian was ordered. Mom would have beat both of us to death if she knew. I still am afraid to tell her.
