20 AIN'T SO SPECIAL
With yesterday being my cousin Allison's 20th birthday (Happy birthday!), it got me thinking about when I turned 20. You would think that it would be some momentous occasion. After all, your teenage years are over. You've taken yet another step toward adulthood. And you've entered a new category of numbering (from the tens to the twenties).
All of that is true, and yet, nothing "exciting" happens until you turn 21. So, my question is, why has turning 20 become so insignificant? It seems like it should be more special.
