: Yeah, but to an 18 year old mind that was hard to get.

Are you somehow indicating that 18 year olds, just because they are 18 years old, are not emotionally or mentally intelligent? These @#$% ageisms really get on my nerves. The criticism of the mental capacities of any young person over age 6 or 7 on the basis of age is ridiculous. If a person can think, they can think. If they can't, that rarely has anything to do with their age.
