Time bombs

Related to the last entry, I have noticed a curious phenomenon in teenage girls. Simply put, there comes a day when they suddenly become their mothers. It usually takes a while for males to become their fathers (and there is a saying that a man is not a man until his father dies), but for girls, no matter the level of "love-hate" so common between mothers and daughters, the explosion arrives in mid to late teens, and the cycle continues.

In my family this seems to happen when the hair starts falling out. I think I've got about 12 more years.

...and probably about 35 pounds, too.
