25 ways to tell if you have finally grown up
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having se.x in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up".
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next
door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling se.x jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog/cat Science Diet instead of McDonald's
leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps from noon to 6 PM
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of
one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.
19. If you're a girl, you go to the drug store for ibuprofen and
antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to..." replaces "I'm never
going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate her
instead of asking "Oh S*$#! What Happened!?!?!?!
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt. |
Oh, I haven't grown up (fully) yet, but pretty scary how close I am coming to it. Have you? |

| I turned 28 last month. Thanks for making me realize that I've already turned into an old geezer. Except I'm female so maybe that makes me a gezette. |

Well, I got a few years on you. I really hope you don't feel too much like a 'gezette' because when you hit 28 and 2 months, it all goes down hill.

At first I thought, oh no! I'm growing up, but then I realized  , due to immaturity and irresponsibility I don't even qualify for many of the points on the list. Phew |

| Well, all signs point to me not being grownup. My houseplant died last week. RIP, Stanley. You were a good plant while you lasted. |

Shark, dolphin, big fish. . . either way, if that was me on the board, I would soon be shopping for a new undefiled wetsuit |

I know people who are 21 and think they are getting old. I also know people who are 60 and kicking it more than the college kids.
Rock on, old timers, stay young. |
