Today at the grocery store - the bagger kid says:

"I'm so happy, ask me why!"
"Okay, why?"
"Because tomorrow's my birthday!"
"Cool deal. So how old are you going to be?"
"17"
"Whoa. One year until you can vote!"
"You mean one year until I can take control of my life."
"Don't be in such a rush, kid. Enjoy where you are, because once it's gone, it ain't coming back."

(Older lady behind me starts chuckling)

This is probably sound advice at any age. Today is the youngest you will ever be!

What is funny is that he doesn't realize how much control he loses of his life when he has to assume responsibility for it.
