From Yu-ling

Welcome to the next phase of life. Adulthood. Everything you do from hereonin will be adulterated. The work you do will be adulterated. The relationships you have will be adulterous. The pictures you view will be for adults-only. You will be generally referred to as an adulterer. And the women you date will be adulteresses. Your children will be adulterined.

Congratulations!

And happy birthday!




[Does anybody know what "adulterined" means? - ed.]
[[looked it up - apparently adulterine children are children of adultery. thanks for the new word! - ed.]]

you have the same birthday as my younger sister

My handy dandy Young Judaea book of address lists from summer 1998 tells me that today you are 24! Which seems a little crazy, considering we were in our teens when we spent 6 weeks together in Israel. I'm in my 20s, too, so I guess it makes sense, but I'm still working on convincing myself that I'm a 'twentysomething'. And as for adult- ha! I'm so not an adult yet.

Nonetheless, have a very happy birthday!

You know, adulthood's a ... work in progress. or regress... whatever. i can't believe you have your dandy young judea address list so handy! i have no clue where mine is... might be in my YJ ID2 scrap box with the מקדונלד'ס placemat. yes, i just spent 5 minutes copying and pasting various letters from Ha'aretz to spell McD's in hebrew. but it was worth it. This is the kind of thing adults do.
anyway, thanks for the birthday wishes and happy birthday to your sister.

See my 12 Jan post.

Being an adult is highly overrated.
