My last elementary school had a Wildlife Club that met before school about once a week. Looking back, I'm not sure what exactly the point of this club was. Anyway, Lydia and I joined Wildlife when I was in fourth grade and she was in first.

During one meeting, we split up into groups to make posters or some such thing. An adviser was going around, making sure that there was at least one older kid in every group. When she asked me how old I was, I hesitated a bit before answering - it was probably not long after my birthday.

I felt somewhat gratified when she accepted me as the older kid for our group and moved on.
