Twelve Again
File this under Works in Progress. I turned thirty this year. I am married and have three children, two cats, and a Master’s degree. Yet some days I’m not convinced I’ve matured much from who I was in junior high: a scarcely pubescent addlepated twit. Faced with some recent, specific proof of this ongoing immaturity and finding myself with a guitar in hand, I began writing this song. Let me know what you think!
