Uh, the youngest millennial is 28 years old. Why is mommy taking him apartment shopping?

The kid sounded like he had a plan of his own and was working towards it, so it might just be as simple as mom has a car and he doesn't, or it's his first apartment and she knows what to look out for when moving into a new one, which he's never had experience doing. The article doesn't make it sound like he's some totally dependent man-child, but it also doesn't elaborate enough to really say why she went along.
