		<description>Okay, so I'm really really sorry, but I just can't let it go.

...I think what you meant your title to be is "I wish I WERE twelve," implying, of course that there is absolutely no possibility of you reverting back (unless, of course, you know Marty McFly) to your pre-teen days, etc., etc.  It's a subtle point, but really, an important one, employing one of the most delicate nuances of the English language -- the subjunctive mood -- a perfumed bouquet you achieve after dealing with f**ked up tenses, person, and even case.

Okay -- sorry about that....just wanted to make sure that got out there...</description>

		<description>Plus if you were to be really pedantic, you could mention that Aaron's "I wish I was..." wish was fulfilled as soon as he passed 12.</description>

		<description>After reading that I feel absolutely ancient.  Like, seriously, we need to pass a law that you must play at least 1000 hours of Galaga before you're allowed to touch a Playstation.</description>
