I define age purely by one's mind.
When a child realizes adults aren't perfect, he becomes a juvenile.
He becomes an adult when he forgives them for it.
Let's say you can choose one animal, and one animal only. You will be able to morph into this animal at any time, for any reason.
What animal do you choose? Why?
I would pick a pterodactyl. Why? Because I can.
