Ok, Jwashee; you asked for it!  25 ways to tell you're grown up

!. 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 am is when you get up, NOT when you go to bed.  5. You hear your favorite songs 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 a. m. 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 shit."  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 saying, "Oh Shit, 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 butt.  Then you forward it to a bunch of old friends 'cuz you know they'll enjoy it too. and now you know why I sent this to you.  Have a good day!  WalkerClan Mother 

Oh, Jwashee.... Are we having a mid life crisis?  "Old" jokes..Tsk, tsk!!  As an elder, I take exception to that; but then I am known as a "dork" by my youngest daughter..... Just as soon as I can remember where I put them,  I'll show you OLD....Jokes.  Where are they?  I'll check around the clan lodge and get back to you, okay?  WalkerClan Mother
