Birthday chocolate distribution went well! Things are good. I especially like what my grandfather had to say about this watershed moment in my life:

You are turning 18, which is one of the most special milestones in human life. In many countries, girls and boys reaching 18 become officially “adults”, they are allowed to marry, to join army and legally kill people called “enemy”, to vote and get elected, they get full personal responsibility for their wrong doings and crimes. But all that has not much to do with you.
