You Know You're Twelve Years Old When...

[rynne]

...Your sister is talking about doing Young Chatacqua (not even going to pretend I know how to spell that) and being some famous astronomer, being as she loves astronomy.

You then ask what it was that this astronomer did, and she replies, "He discovered Uranus."

Then you feel exceedingly like Ron Weasley, and burst out laughing, even if no one else at the dinner table seems to have gotten the joke.

XD *feels twelve*

...Well, I can assure you that, had I been at this dinner table, I would most certainly have acted twelve years old with you. XD

Last week one of my history professors started going on and on about how the early seaports of the colonies were beneficial blah blah blah...but then for a good five minutes he kept saying the word "seamen". "Seamen were plentiful", "seamen had it good", and so forth in that fashion. And I as I looked around, I realized I was the only one in the room even on the verge of giggles. I also felt like I was 12.

*erupts in fits of giggles* Well, "seamen" certainly are plentiful...*snerk* I think the last five years just haven't happened, and I'm still twelve. :p

Oh Oh! Lemme guess! 'Twas Hershel who discovered Uranus in 1781.

*grins* Right? Right?

Ahaha don't ask me! I just focussed in on the Uranus and forgot the name of the astronomer. :p

*laughs* I have to know this for ac dec.

Friend came up with the following method: "Hershel is similar to Hershey. When you eat a Hershey's kiss, it travels through your body and exits 'uranus'. Just keep in mind it's in 1781."

*coughs* Oh the fun we have at our oh-so-effective study sessions.
