  • Make Your Dream Come True day – the jackpot is now over $1.5 billion 
  • National Peach Melba day
  • National Rubber Duckyday
  • Public Radio Broadcasting day

Interesting question:  When are you actually an adult


 
In Maryland, you can have a job and a learner’s driver permit [with the appropriate permission slips] when you turn 15.  At 16, you can legally consent to sex, and/or with your parents’  consent, you can get married.  A movie with an adult rating says you have to be 17 to get in and see it.  At 18 you can get married, buy your own smokes, enlist in the military and vote.  At 21 you can buy booze. 
 
I can’t answer for anyone else, but I know when I exactly when it happened to me.  I was 23,  in Dr. Michael’s office and got told I was pregnant.  I just stared at the doctor for a long moment as suddenly it crashed in, over, on me – all the weight of responsibility, all the understanding, all the duty.  By bringing another life into this world, I had made myself accountable for his or her wellbeing and development.  That moment changed me immediately and irrevocably.  It was my turn to be the adult;  the switch had flipped and there was no going back.
