What makes you happy? A question which, in my opinion, yields different answers at different stages of life. If I was a kid(1-12 years old), I would probably have an innocent, goofy answer. If I was a teenager(13-19 years old), I'd probably have some rebel-without-a-cause answer. If I was a middle aged (36-59 years old) person, I'd probably have a family which I would talk about.
