Yeah, close more like 18. Makes you grow up quick.
Ya , I just turned 20 with my first. You do grow up fast. When people say "oh that was back in my 20s" in regards to stupidity or some party phase of their's. Ya that doesn't compute for me. I was in my late 30s before I could drink legally.
They weren't given the opportunity to grow in wisdom like you. They're probably jeep owners now.
Seems like many of us were parenting in our early 20s. Very interesting.
In one year I went from being an azz in high school, to waiting for the draft lottery ( Vietnam ) and working 90 hour weeks to pay for a new family. It all turned out the way it should, I'm still an azz.

I give this kid a ride home from the local Dairy Mart hangout on my '67 Honda 305 Scrambler, me with a helmet, him without. Cop sees us does a quick U-turn chases me, Scraps runs off and I get a ticket. The cop wants to know who he was and I said I don't know just giving a dude a ride. What an Azz.
Wait, do we have a life long friend of Ron in here?
High School pals
And he never offered a ride since!
I didn't need to I just kept unloading my junkers on you insteadAnd he never offered a ride since!
Young, foolish and bulletproof. Four teenagers crammed into a split window injected ‘Vette seeing 140 mph on a two-lane highway. Driver was a future state trooper. One passenger a future sheriff’s sergeant. Another a future mayor.
