Dinner table conversation tonight

Noah: When are we going to the Centre Pompidou?
Me (exasperated by Noah's behavior all afternoon): When you are 18; you can do what you want.
Benjamin: Why 18?
Me: Because then you'll be an adult. You can get your own house.
Benjamin: Not 18! I think that is a little too soon!
Me: Oh? When do you think, then?
Benjamin: Between 20 and 25.
Me: You know how old I was when I last lived with my parents?
Benjamin: How old?
Me: 17.
Benjamin, after a short pause: So..... you didn't like your parents?
