What woman wants to be old?

Thomas shuffled along quietly, feeling more or less at ease with the need to be looking around the room and taking a moment or two to appreciate how clean and tidy his parents kept things, especially in such an older house. For a brief moment, there was some sense that he had been the one to buy it...but it was easily dismissed. How did someone as young as him afford a house? With what money? He just laughed a bit before he turned his attention to the questionnaire sitting on the dining room table in front of him.

20.) IF YOU WERE A GIRL...HOW OLD WOULD YOU BE, HOW TALL WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT SHOES, AND WHAT WOULD YOU WEIGH WITHOUT CLOTHES (DON'T LIE)?

He giggled at that last part, figuring the person who had made the quiz felt it was necessary to sneak in that last admonishment. What puzzled him, though, was the first part of the question. "IF you were a girl...what is that supposed to mean?" he muttered to himself before he paused and looked at the picture on the wall. The family had taken it during a camping trip and it was obvious that he was now 21 years old, a bit older than the time when he was 14, and his sister was 9. Their mother and father looked so much happier and lively, not that they didn't look good for their age but time was definitely moving fast for all of them. Dad had a bit of a pot-belly and mom, bless her heart, had been dyeing her hair more than once a month to keep the whites and grays at bay.

The most recent picture that they took definitely showed how old they were...

With that, he wondered about what it would mean to be younger, to go back to when he was not really burdened by a lot of things going on with job hunting and the whole issue of dealing with bills and "adult pressures" as his baby-daddy Richard mentioned. Still, Thomas thought for a moment, it wouldn't be fair to just leave his parents in the lurch like that, could it?

Thomas picked up his pen. I would be 19 years old, fresh out of high school, about 5'5", and weigh 115, about the same like my mom, Lauren, now bestie, Rebecca. Thomas put his pen down and smiled as the door to the house opened and Rebecca walked in. "Hey girl!" she called out and quickly walked over and gave him a warm hug. "Missed you at practice today!"

"Well, maybe next time. Just feeling a little bit under the weather." Thomas looked over at his phone and then back at her. "Hey, listen, I wanted to ask you about Sam..."

Rebecca just smiled and patted him on the head. "Listen, Sam likes you, babe, you know that. I mean, the two of you have been friends forever, it seems. It's only right." She leaned in closely. "Besides, no matter how hot I am, I mean, I can't hold a candle to you. Plus, I mean, come on, I see how you make those eyes whenever it's the two of you."

Thomas grinned a little and then looked at her. "Well, since we got that one out of the way..." he reached into the purse and pulled out something and handed it to her. "Take a look at this..."

21.) IF YOU WERE A GIRL...WHAT WOULD YOUR NAME BE?
