Age Ain't Nothin' But A Number

I just realized that Kobe Bryant is only 24 years old. His wife, Vanessa, whom people are calling a poised and elegant woman, is only 20. Who are these kids? Who gives a 24 year old a salary that allows him to buy a $4 million ring? I can't begin to imagine that kind of life. When I was 24, I was living in a crap apartment in Corona, Queens, making $22 K a year, up to my eyeballs in credit card debt. When I was 20, I was in college. I was a child! Yet Vanessa is married to a millionaire basketball player who has admitted to cheating on her and is being charged with rape. It's just too strange.
