you know you're grown up when...

Postby thaya » Mon May 04, 2009 12:30 am

i was sent this in an email by such a *thoughtful* friend, after we had a discussion about how we're getting sooooo old (yet I don't feel it!) Quite alot of it struck a chord :shock: :lol:

You Know You're Grown Up When..
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex 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 sex 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 science diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3am would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. 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 xxxxx."

anyone else seen any other funny lists like this?

thaya,
Have you been spying on my life? I don't think you could have nailed "grown up" any better than that.

Watching the news last-night they talked about David Carridine's death, stating that the older generation will remember him from his role as Cain on the t.v. series Kung-Fu, while the younger generation know him from Quinten Tarrantinos, Kill Bill series. Then it struck me, I guess I'm the older generation. But then again, this younger generation cannot walk across the rice paper laid over a bed of sand without leaving a footprint, can they Grasshopper?
