Twenty-five Signs You Have Grown Up

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 three in the morning 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 four dollar 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. Ninety percent 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 asking “Oh shit what the hell happened?”

Bonus:26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that it doesn’t apply to you and can’t find one to save your sorry old ass.

Some of these fit me (about 10 of them). But I'm still kind of a kid. A 32-yr-old kid.

Thankfully, only about 10% of these apply to me now- still a ways to go! Karla, Webmaster of http://www.ProductAntiaging.com

Oh boy, you had me cracking up!! Once I was done laughing I realized how sad, that's me. THE HORROR!!!!!. I'll be turning 27 in two weeks and I can't believe that I fall in more than half of the list.
