Birthdays in the Twenties

As a child I never understood why adults could never remember their age. As a kiddo, you always knew - "I'm thwee!" But Austin turns 26 today, and all week I couldn't remember how old he was going to be or how old I was. Apparently after you turn 21 there is no age to look forward to, they are all the same. (Except men who turn 25 and get lower car insurance) So there is nothing to remember because you weren't anxious to turn that next number.

So here we are today now 24 and 26 and no memory of most of those days. But there is still a high requirement to out-do your last birthday, or throw the best for your friends. Am I the only one having this problem?
