I remember being in the car and talking to my sister about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My dad's face crinkled up in a mixture of confusion and disgust. "Teenage... Mutant... Ninja... Turtles? Teenage... Mutant... Ninja... Turtles?"
These days I see dads the age he was then, walking with their kids, and they're both rocking TMNT T-shirts. The same with Zelda or other franchises I love. I'm convinced that people my age and younger are sort of living an extended childhood. I don't know whether I should feel bad about this... but I don't.
