Dawn's actual age, like Mary's, is open to debate. If comic strip characters aged in realtime, she'd be in her early 40s, and let's not even speculate about Mary. But mature? Dawn? "Gee, Dawn, this morning you were openly contemptuous of me, and now we're having lunch together. That's so mature! Like Dr. Ned, I'm impressed!"
For a nanosecond I wondered if Jared was being ironic but I'm pretty sure irony is lost on him.
Is arguing about who's the newer newbie a demonstration of maturity? Dawn might want to explain "adulting" to Jared. (BTW, Karen Moy, auto correct does not like "adulting.")
In fairness to Dawn, her parents divorced when she was young, she was shipped across the counter to live at Charterstone, she was bullied because of her weight, and her father has left her all by her lonesome for almost a year, and SOB! I can't go on.....
I think this or more commentary on the fact that Dawn could actually be intelligent enough for college than her age.
BTW, I saw a friend's wife use the phrase 'adulting' on a Facebook post about her college she daughter retuning to college in off- campus housing. Though the poster was in her 40s, I'm still not ready to accept 'adulting' as a mainstream word.

You look so mature drinking your chocolate milk through your little bendy straw!

That burger is getting more mature with each moment you wave it around unbitten.
Dawn is such a snot.

I'm sure it is a typo, and the prefix im- was omitted. Jared is surprised that she is in college. He thought she was a high school student.
Dawn? Mature? She was acting like a catty 14-year-old earlier that day.
Maybe he was being sarcastic.
Very interesting blog post, Thanks for the informative post provided.

Dawn, mature? She still watches her old VHS tapes of the New Zoo Revue!
