I don't mean age-wise. I'm 66 and I'm still waiting for maturity to kick in. I can't talk to Republicans without telling them exactly, in obscene detail, what I think of their ideas . I still turn my CD player on high to listen to Classic Rock. I talk to my cat. (Okay, maybe that has nothing to do with maturity.)
I just wonder if any of us ever actually grow up.

(But then I realize that pretty much the entirety of the Republican party seems to be stuck at middle school at best in terms of development, and I guess I've kinda grown up after all.)
