13

This is a boy who just turned 13.  Yep.  13.  It's quite a big deal for this boy.  He (thinks) he may now purchase and play any Rated-T game (Mom may have a thing or two to say about this).  He graduates from the "tween" to "teen" label. He no longer has to ask if watching a PG-13 movie is okay. He feels he is nearing the point of getting a driver's permit.  He refers to all younger children as "the little kids".

Little does this boy know that he should savor every moment of being young.  Of being free from responsibility. He doesn't understand it when mom says "Slow down, you don't have to grow up so fast!"  He does not see that when he grows up, he most assuredly will want to be young again. But of course, that is the way things are...when you're 13.
