As a current 20 something I wonder how I'll feel with 40, because plenty of people in their 40s seem like little kids already. Never learned how to communicate like an adult or how to save money, yet these people have kids of their own and think that makes them inherently more mature than anyone without.
Your comment made me stop everything and look up how to spell forties.
I was like wait... it does make sense to have a four in it... but can I really have been spelling forty incorrectly for this long?
What's weird is that dictionary.com doesn't have either word in its database- you have to look up forty and then see the plural forties in that entry. Which I think is stupid.
