14. I know what the conventional wisdom is re: the age range.....
of baby boomers, I just don't happen to agree with it and never have. The term "baby boom" was coined after the soldiers came home from WWII (1944)and started to have their families. How can you stretch that to someone born in 1964? The average family back then was 4 children, mostly every two years and that's only a span of 8 years.

I just don't look at someone born in 1960 and think of them in terms of baby boomers. Sorry. That's just me. But then I mostly don't ever go along with convention:) That's why I'm a DU'er.
