Well... I am 25 but still see myself as young.

We had a new hire help me recently and he used the polite "you" when talking to me and asking questions. Which confused me and I said that he can be casual and he's probably not much younger than me... But he's 15. I'm two third of his whole life older than him. That made me startle a little when I realized. There's people getting into jobs soon who will be half my age...

I think we are born empty minded but with genetic skills from our parents to learn some things better than others. My mother is good with languages, my father is good with maths. My grandfather is a focused thinker.

So, my language skill developed focused on just one language to be really good, instead of spread out over 5 like my mother has. And my math skill is purely on the theoretical application with throwing numbers around but not physics or so, which my father was also good at in his school time.

And a movie adaptation throws things under the bus. I love the percy Jackson books but the movies are just bad. I wad excited when a "truly faithful" series adaptation was announced by Disney but their casting is incorrect. The characters have detailed descriptions and Disney disregards that. Why even bother?

But with harry potter I had the opposite experience. Never read the books but I like the movies

Neither of these have a good ring to them. If I could choose the name of something, I'd make it memorable either through a weird joke or repetition. "Superb hall", "I paid for this hall", "I am rich. And I make so much money, I esrned the 100 million dollars for this in just one month - hall", "hall hall", "Superb hall"
