Greetings, everyone! It is I, the Prince of All Cosmos, and I have another question for you.

[Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm. The Prince leans back. Given the background of the video, he's lounging around in front of the meeting hall.]

You will have to excuse my ignorance, for though I have made attempts to study humans, the longer I stay here, the more I realize that I actually know very little.

But, I am sure you have noticed that there has been much talk of "birthdays" recently. Would anyone happen to be willing to explain to me what exactly a "birthday" is, and why it is so important?

Well...I think it depends on the culture. Where I'm from, these mark important steps in growing up. You usually start school when you're five. Thirteen is the first "teen" year. Sixteen is suppose to be big because it is kinda like...becoming an adult? You can make big decisions then, but not all of the big decisions. Eighteen is when you're legally considered an adult, and twenty-one is when you can legally drink alcohol.

[Wow, that's a lot of information. But wait, there's more!]

But that's just where I'm from. Some places let you drink alcohol at a younger age, and in Spanish culture, fifteen is the same as our sixteen.

[My, this is a lot to take in! The Prince leans back, hand on his chin, his expression the perfect picture of "thinking really hard about all of this."]

Hmmmmmm. Firstly, before I forget, thank you for the information! You are quite knowledgeable about this topic. [... he says with a tone that one would use to compliment "your hair looks really cute today"]

How fascinating. So, then, the older you are, the more decisions you make. This means that the older the human, the more they are in control of their life? I understand this. It is like the process of becoming bigger for my family.
