Since I can't resist any nerdery that involves a spreadsheet, I'm particularly tickled by this blog entry from the Guardian on charting literary characters by age and the separate blog this project has spawned. Has anyone ever had a similarly distressing realization that they'd now outpaced a character that they'd always thought of as older than they were?

I think it was the kids in FOREVER. I first read that book in fourth grade and though they were basically grown-ups. In my twenties I realized they were "just kids"! Gah! Now in my forties, I laugh because I am the parents in the book!
