Damn, I'm an adult.

1. Unless I'm out to a social function or travelling, I don't wear a watch. I know time is passing and I don't need a reminder.

5. First fold so that all 4 corners are nested together. Improvise from there.

6. No, not really, and it is being taught less. Cursive works great for fountain pens, or, originally, quills. They tend to splatter a drop when lifted, and with a quill, you'd want to keep the flow going as long as possible before having to go back to the well. I could be wrong about this (#2) but it makes sense to me.

My cursive is illegible, my print tends to be a hybrid of block letters and cursive, used for speed in taking notes, few can read it, and the older I get, nor can I. Given my drafting experience, I tend to use all caps a lot if I want someone else to read it.

10. And we never get tired of telling those stories.

11. That's called wisdom. It's earned.

19. Once per decade of age.

20. Have you ever driven in a foreign country? They laugh at such attempts.

21. Everything gets dirty. Nothing is ever clean. Meh.

22. I use an alarm clock less than I wear a watch.

In addition:

24. Cake for breakfast.

25. I've stopped looking around when someone calls me "sir." And the percentage of the population I call "Sir" is rapidly decreasing.
