To some extent that's true, although realistically you also have to
acknowledge that until around 22-25 or so, the brain is still maturing so a
lot of people younger than that age aren't as mature as they are going to
be. I know I thought I was very mature (perhaps I was), but I look back
and feel silly. :)

Don't joke, it'll come around and get you! I have a tendency towards
tendonitis and bursitis -- prone to repetitive stress injuries. I've now
developed it in my shoulders from lifting the babies all the time. *sigh*
