I'm 31 she is 18. As soon as I found out her age (which she did not look that young), it was over for me. I know that 18 is legal, but what would we have in common? We couldnt talk about our crazy party days, or college hyjinks. This all came about when she was talking about graduating the other day. I asked if she had a job lined up yet and she said, "silly, I wanna go to college first.."
