Question:
Wow, this is scary. I guess I've finally grown up!!
25 SIGNS THAT YOU'VE GROWN UP
1. Your house plants 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 on 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 damn 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 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 no longer 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. 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. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
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
ass .
I think I grew up!! :) lol
(the "f" up there ^ is a freudian slip).
now i know im to old. that's what is wrong with me.
...guess the whole list covers me too...:confused: :(
Kim
i lost my cane but found my glass.
Drat, now I know what my problem is:) . I always knew there was an explanation. Now where did I put my darn glasses??;)
Sue:cool:
I don't know who wrote this but here lately it's been a favorite of mine..........
Just a line to say I'm living
that I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful
and mixed up in the head.
I got used to my arthritis
to my dentures I'm resigned
I can manage my bifocals
BUT GOD I MISS MY MIND.
For sometimes I can't remember
when I stand at the foot of the stairs
If I must go up for something
or have I just come down from there.
And before the fridge so often
my poor mind is filled with doubt
Have I just put food away, or
have I come to take some out?
And there's times when it is dark
with my nightcap on my head
I don't know if I'm retiring, or
just getting out of bed.
So, if it's my turn to write you
there's no need for getting sore
I may think that I have written
and don't want to be a bore.
So, remember that I love you
and wish that you were near
But now it's nearly mail time
so must say goodbye my dear.
There I stand beside the mailbox
with a face so very red
Instead of mailing you the letter
I had opened it instead.
Oh if it was only this easy. enjoy...........
I hereby officially tender my resignation as an adult. I have decided that I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 year old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks. I want to think M & Ms are better than money, because you can eat them. I want to play kickball during recess and paint with watercolors in art. I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. When all you knew was to be happy because you didn't know all the things that should make you worried and upset.
I want to think that the world is fair. That everyone in it is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
Somewhere in my youth....I matured and I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice, starvation and abused children. I learned of lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death. I learned of a world where men left
their families to go and fight for our country, and returned only to end up living on the streets....begging for their next meal.
What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live forever, because we didn't grasp the concept of death? When we thought the worst thing in the world
was if someone took the jump rope from you or picked you last for kickball? I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again.
I want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean. When television was used to report the news or for family entertainment and not to promote sex, violence
and deceit.
I remember being naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was. I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could
find. I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike. I didn't worry about time, bills or where I was going to find the money to fix my car.
I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up, not worry about what I'll do if this doesn't work out. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angels in the snow.
Sincerely,
A Kid Again
