Apparently age adjusting the old memories is a pretty common thing. I have a passel of cousins who are all teenagers and "tweens" now and my aunts (who are 38 and 40) are having a nightmare of a time trying to force them to act in ways that it is impossible for teenagers to act. They are compounding the problem by cracking down harder on the girls which I am sure is creating a whole host of issues. It's kind of like watching a train wreck at this point. I tried to save my poor cousins by asking one of the mothers, "Didn't you have a little boyfriend when you were 14?" after which I was immediately shut down with her response, "that was different!"
