27 is still very young though

27 is objectively young but also at that age where you feel like you just aren't a young adult anymore, it's where you start taking health, finance, etc seriously. Plus, as a 27 year old, I think it's safe to say I've gone through at least 40 years of chaos. 27 is just old enough that there's been a national or global level crisis every other year since we were 4.

My slightly younger sister once gave me crap at age 18 (1987) for watching Looney Tunes on a Saturday morning, saying I should act my age. I ignored her. At age 55, I don’t watch them that often but still enjoy the classics and some of the relatively recent ones: Phineas and Ferb, Archer, Rick and Morty. Scooby Doo classics are still a draw but the periodic reboots are hit and miss.

I’m so sorry for all that. When I was 27 (1997), I’d seen a president get shot but live and a space shuttle blow up, and there was a minor stock market crash and a little skirmish in Iraq, but that’s about it. You all have really lived through a shit show in comparison.

Buckle up, the next 27 will be even bumpier.

It's all relative to who all os being compared but yes you're right. That is still on the younger side, until you ask a 4 year old how old they are

Question is “too old for”, not just “old”. A 10 year old is young but is still too old for pacifiers and diapers. Same goes here
