My sister was twenty-twelve until she turned 33 and realised twenty-thirteen didn't sound as good.
Ah... How long would we last in the teens?
Thirty-teen? I read in a Time article sometime back while I was being quarantined that we are all adolscents until twenty-five.
Twenteen, Twenty-Eleven, Twenty-Twelve, Twenty-thirteen, Twenty-fourteen... Twenty-five!
There we go! I am Twenteen this year.
i see plenty of twenteens running around here!
I used to have Eleventy twelve in my childhood counting spectrum.
Despite it's name it's proper place was after standard 11 and 12, but just before thirteen.
I was an odd kid.
(For the record, I'll be twenty twelve on the 24 of this month, but I still act eleventy twelve)
My teacher suddenly turned twenty-eleven one year. Then the next year she was twenty-twelve and by then we were all old enough to realize those weren't actual numbers and that she just didn't want to be 30.
I had to let go of my teens a year ago, didn't feel too good at first but I've accepted the fact that I'm supposed to be a young responsible adult by now. Supposed to being the key words...
