Ross and the sex dream thing - now that's overreacting. The jokes about Chandlers pronunciation is pure gold, though.

Ethan is cute! Doesn't look like 18 at all but yeah. They could've been a really cute couple.

I hate Monica in this episode and the whole Ethan story. The reason for her to break up with him is stupid, especially for Monica (anyone said Richard? Yeah.).

Chandler and Phoebe are the best in this episode!

I didn't even think about that! Man is she a hypocrite or what.

I don't think that... I mean, yeah, it is a similar situatuion. But I don't think Monica was breaking up with Ethan because the age difference itself, she broke up with him because he was too young. C'mon, he was what? 17? It is weird.
With Richard they were both all grown up adults.

In her position, I think I would break up with Ethan too. :S

But I'd say that the difference between a 18 year old and a 26 year old is smaller than the one between a 26 year old and a, what, 50 year old? He had grown up kids, he could be her father, now that is wierd.

Yeah, but Ethan didn't have 18 yet. That's why she said that what they did wasn't legal in some-number states.
And that's what I was trying to explain. She didn't broke up with him because the difference between their ages. But because he was under18.
And seriously, what woman with 26 years old can take an 17 years old seriously? Plus, you could go to jail.

She says "it's weird". I have never really been sure if it was only because of him being under 18.

I assume that because the stuff she said about what they did being illegal, you know? She sees him as a child.

I do not remember the details now, but when watching I always think Ethan having less than 18 years, ergo the ick factor.
