Signs You're Already a Grown-up
· Your potted plants stay alive.
· Having sex in a twin sized bed is absurd.
· You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
· 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to sleep.
· You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
· You carry an umbrella.
· You watch the Weather Channel.
· Your friends marry and divorce instead of hookup and breakup.
· You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7.
· Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as 'dressed up.'
· You're the one calling the police because those darn kids next door don't know how to turn down the stereo.
· Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
· You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
· Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
· You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's.
· Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
· You no longer take naps from noon to 6 p.m.
· Dinner and a movie - The whole date instead of the beginning of one.
· MTV News is no longer your primary source for information.
· You go to the drugstore for Ibuprofen and antacids, not condoms and pregnancy test kits.
· A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer 'pretty good stuff'.
· You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time.
· Grocery lists are longer than macaroni & cheese, diet Pepsi & Ding Dongs.
· "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
· Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
· You don't drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
· You read this entire list looking for one sign that doesn't
apply to you.
