Austin
needed a pack of lighters. I was shocked when Kroger carded me over
this purchase.
Austin: Of course you have to be of age to buy lighters. You don't want little kids buying lighters and burning things down.
Me: Obviously. It just seems strange that you can't buy one until you're eighteen.
Austin starts listing examples of kids being stupid and I state that 18 year olds are no more mature than 16 year olds. Then we launch into age limits on renting cars and getting hotel rooms.
Me: I suppose the thing that is most startling about this whole thing is that I haven't tried to buy lighters prior to being 40.
