Huh. Only 24? And I'm the most pampered, petted, spoiled beribboned poodle of a person I know. Just ask my wife, who makes my omelettes most particularly without any brown, watches me peel the crusts off my sandwich loaf, gets me sweets at the cinema and expects only token sharing, puts the clothes neatly away when I've folded them, and chauffeurs me everyplace public transit can't take me, and some places it can.
