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 just one sign that   doesn't apply to you..........and can't find a single one to save your   sorry old ass.     PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT 'YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID,     ~BUT ~ THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.

  3. I'm praying I never grow up. Sorry I am.  I'm mature about some things but other things are just hard to be mature about. Maybe because I grew up in a house where dressing up for specail occasions means you wear a dress I never did the jeans and sweater thing.  I keep my stero down anyway because certain music to me sounds bad all cranked up.  Oh,and I will never ever,ever feel comfortable with older relatives telling sex jokes around me and I pray they are uncomfortable telling those jokes around me.
