I had an e-mail chat with an old friend about a Bud Light ad on YouTube in which a dude is buying a dirty magazine & winds up in a weird hostage situation. This led to a brief sharing of embarrassing "first time occurrence" moments in our pasts. Anyone else 35+ remember those awful incidental transitions from teenager to adult? The first time you could buy booze legally was probably fun & involved a birthday celebration. But others of those "firsts" were immeasurably more embarrassing (I won't go into detail; I'm sure you can recall a few of your own!).
Thank God I'm beyond the point where I blush redder than a freshly boiled lobster when making certain personal purchases (even if they have to call for a price check!). Both maturity & parenthood will do this, but in my case parenthood profoundly hastened it. (Just raise opposite gender children--you'll see!)
