Perhaps I should have asked then what the difference between an adult woman and a child is other than their ages. In my opinion the question is not about the number of years one has lived but one's maturity level. I know several ladies older than I am who I consider girls still because they think or act like young girls.

*grins* Yeah, part of it is to start thinking of yourself as a woman instead of a girl.
