Very true MOM4.... I tried to express that in my post. If parents are going to worry about their age of their child and wanting them to be able to buy beer as a senior in high school... maybe they should plan their pregancy and child birth to have a september birthday (I believe that's it) so they can start a little later and be a year older. (However... is it really that serious?) Is that one year the difference in their whole life? Who knows!
