The first sight of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left.

- Chicago Tribune

I am sure that we all remember all the times that our moms yelled at us to turn the volume down cause everyone in the house are not able to listen to each other. 

My mom used to fight with me all the time because I just thought that it is not the same if you listen to music at a lower volume; it will not give the same effect. The eighties were quite crazy in this regard and I remember telling mom that Tina Turner was actually related to me and that’s why I feel so attached to her, and mom used to call me "majnooneh"

I can't help but smile when I think of those good old days. I was never able to study unless I was listening to music or watching TV. Me and my friends; we all had collections of posters and photos of our favorite singers, but we did not dare hang them in the rooms as that was just too taboo J

I really don’t remember when the first sign of maturity appeared with me, because I got so tied up with studying and working and it became of minor importance that I listen to loud music. Of course I still listen to music; but not too loud!

Actually; I give my sisters at home a hard time about this, asking them to turn it down, but naturally; they never listen to me and mom keeps laughing as they are actually getting back at me for her, so I guess it is true what they say: what goes around does actually come around.
