’ ‘I should have realized my guy thinks everything out,’ I said. He looked me directly in the eyes. ‘Not everything, but I try.’ ‘Richard, do you work with Jeff?’ asked Jen. ‘No, I work at a brokerage house,’ he answered. ‘Yet he is a certified adult,’ added Jeff. ‘I had trouble finding one at work.’ ‘I would have thought they were all adults,’ said Jen. ‘The youngest guy I work with is thirty-two, fourteen years older than I am. ‘My first few days many of them were calling me ‘kid’ and patronizing me.
