JennifersLost Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Probably someone's posted this before, but I stumbled onto it and it's SO TRUE! 25 Signs That, Sadly, 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 **** 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.

gardening momma Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Probably someone's posted this before, but I stumbled onto it and it's SO TRUE! Eh, no. Sorry, that wasn't my life before, and it's not now. (and I still have breakfast for supper sometimes ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 :lol::lol::lol::lol: I'll add a few... 1. You realize the aches & pains you wake up with are due to age, not because you had a rockin' good time at a party last night. 2. All of the "dates" in your calendar are playdates for your kids. 3. T-Ping your friends house now just sounds like a lot of clean up and a waste of a valuable resource. 4. Cruising now means driving around the Walmart parking lot until you find the closest spot possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar. So many of these rang true, but this one, just slayed me! What a positively ridiculous thing to do, yet I did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
