Cool. I am adored the world over you know. It's due to my endless wit and charm.
And about the twister thing. You are never too old to play nekkit twister. What are you, one of those annoying people who thinks you have to act like a grown up just cause you're getting older?
You must respond to your inner juvenile. Often.
"Besides, boys dont have foldy places. Geeze, Teeny, you're married, you should know that."
Never saw Thag on the beach in his Speedo, didja????
*shudder at baaaad mental image*
Oh, thaggy, I know you have a rock hard body, don't try to mislead me.
Teeny straightened me out about her "foldy places" statement, but I like it better when it refers only to girls. It tickles my funny bone.
That's an interesting way to spell that word.
Dont' forget your modesty....

I may be getting older, but I REFUSE to grow up!
You must respond to your inner juvenile. Often.
I think it's more like responding to my outer adult! (every now & then)

I ignore my adult. It's stupid.
Flirt if you must, but you are still only allowed to be the spinner.
You nasty baby.
You nasty, baby! Why you put yo deck in the sink?
You are taking advantage of your tired older sister.
Oh, the indignity!
Oh! the exclamation marks!
....and fire just shot out my deck....
Are you illin? Is there something I should know?
