Yearrh....but that would be because US legislation only allows (legal) drinking at 21.

Well now, kinda. Alcohol laws are by state. But the federal government can make laws to encourage states to do certain things. Raising the drinking age to 21 was one of those things.

It's one of those funny differences between Oz and the US.
Legal drinking age here is 18.
Legal driving age is also 18. I believe you can get your learner's permit at 16 these days; but when I first learnt to drive, you couldn't even apply for L plates till you were at least 17.
 
Sorry the joke is kind of inside having to do with someone on her visit calling her a 5yo.


And does the (ballet) shoe fit?


Do you know what Hot Topic is? They're owned by Hot Topic, and sell plus size clothing. I wish they'd existed when I was in high school. My favorite dress is from there :)

This is an example of something they have that I LOVE and would so buy if I had the money. http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Clothing/Dresses/Day/Khaki-Challis-Dress-with-Belt-565944.jsp


That would look great on you! But I would choose a different colour to the khaki...


Where did you get that popcorn? I'm going to :sad: if Pam shared her popcorn with you.....

Driving is also by state, and very complicate compared to when I was 15 and could get a learners permit and at 16 drive. Not it's much more graduated but like I said depends on the state.


Of course lately places are at least thinking of allowing soldiers to start drinking(I mean be allowed to drink) at 18. But that is just a military thing.
