Laura Dekker, 14, will set off Saturday on a controversial attempt to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
Remember when you were 14 and asked your mom if you could take a quick sail around the world?
In defending their decision to allow their daughter to attempt this trip around the world, her parents said that Laura is "very mature for her age." I'm gunna stop ya right there. No she's not! She's 14! If she's mature for her age, put her in Honors English or give her some advanced logic proofs to work on.
"You seem pretty mature for a 14-year old...instead of bringing you up to the JV Sailing team, let's see how you hold your own in a little solo sailing trip around the world."
