What age are you today?

I read this great article by Anne LaMott (who spells her name correctly) in 'O' magazine about age. She said that she's all the ages she's ever been at the same time. That just makes so much sense. When I move after sitting for a while, I feel my age (49), but when I play with my canine nephew I feel about 8 years old. And when I'm with the College Age Community Group (CACG) from church, which I'm nominally in charge of, I feel like I'm in college again and like I'm a fairly mature middle aged adult all at the same time. So this gives rise to my human behavior theory. You know how some adults will act like they're in junior high, or act like they're toddlers? What is you interact with them on the level they're acting? For toddler stage, maybe give them the adult equivalent of a time out? Or for the junior high stage, give them some homework? I don't know if it's true, but I'll be trying it out.
