When all those kids started making their territory I thought we were all on the same page.

So why are these assignments like this? What's the cutoff here?

I'm 21 how is that a child?

I'm much too young to be your mother.

Twenty-one? That does seem weird.

[facultative]

No offence, but I'm also not looking for another one.

[facultative]

That's a normal adult age, right?

[politicallyinclined]

And you shouldn't. Motherhood is something to cherish; it can't be stolen.

You are safe with me, Jedi.

[revengeisalie]

I would think so, yes. Maybe they have different standards here?

You're a year older than me but I guess I'm the 'mother' in my family. So I'd say it's adult age for sure?

[Is Angel the father then? Look, she's not really thought about it. Family is family.]

are we sure age is the criteria they're working from?

[Tell that to his mother. She may have given him up willingly for the chance of a better life, but his feelings have never been logical.]

I should say the same to you, Senator.

[facultative]

Yet I'm considered old enough to not need further education.

[facultative]

They put you down as an adult?

[This is outrageous, etc etc.]

[facultative]

[PICK YOUR NEXT WORDS CAREFULLY.]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[politicallyinclined]

(She gave him up physically, but she never stopped loving him or seeing herself as his mother. There is a difference.)

I have worked with the Jedi often. I hoped that would be the case.

[revengeisalie]

What, really? So what are you supposed to be doing?

[westcoasts]

it means we're trying to force our norms and expectations on something that isn't the product of them?

( or... something. )

Perhaps it isn't the number that makes you a child.

( maybe he's just childish. )

You're three years older than I am, and they've not only marked me down as a "parent", but assigned me a "child" four years younger than I am.

Do you suppose it's possible that they randomized it? Or maybe they were just trying to make sure every parent had a child?

[It's entirely possible that she is overthinking this. Hmm...]

Maaaybe it's based on emotional maturity?

its cause you IS a child man

might as well be in cloths still

[Says the 111 year old. Is he helping? Definitely not.]

[facultative]

It's not like the 'adults' have anything special to do either.

[facultative]

If I'm too old for classes that's an adult.

[facultative]

[He isn't wrong, but that's not the point here.]

Sure, but if I'm old enough to be drafted into a war that's not a child.

[westcoasts]

you know college and mature students are a thing, right?

( signed, the guy who dropped out of school in his teens to be in a circus. )

[facultative]

[This is so unfair.]

Whatever their reasons it still shouldn't be like this.

[If given the chance Anakin would now love to ensure her world goes first.]

If it was no one here would qualify.
