25 Ways to know you are all grown up

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 McDonald's 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 3 AM 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 ****."

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. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.!

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them
instead of asking "Oh ****! What the hell happened?"

Bonus:

26: 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 ass.
Then you forward it to a bunch of old friends 'cause you know they'll
enjoy it.

I guess I'm still somewhat young. These ones above don't apply to me.

E, They all fit me/us, to a T!

In fact, some of them are getting to be
out of my reach or interest or beyond my energy pool!

#24 should be the opposite. I used to drink at home before going out when I was young because I couldnt afford to get drunk at a bar back then. But now I just go strait out to a bar and dont give a shit how much m tab is.

But all the rest fit me pretty well and that is very sad.

Oh man, 19 out of the 25 all apply to me. Dammit I knew my mindset was always a bit older than the norm. I couldn't answer the 3AM chicken wings question cuz I've never even slept that late.......

I guess i must be a kid at heart cause a lot of what's on the list i could shoot down with pleasure.

For example
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. I don't think so

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator. Please spare me.

6. You watch the Weather Channel. Say what!!!

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. hahahaha

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
I don't have a dog. Too expensive.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach. I wish I could find some chicken wings at 3:am Just great after being out late bring em on.

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real
work. 90% percent of the time i;m hanging out at X5world
and the CEO is bashin my habit.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.!
Don't bet on it!!!!

One thing missing though is "people you know or know of start dropping dead around you and you start dancing with mortality.
