25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP



1. 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. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.



5. You hear your favorite song 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 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. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh S*$# 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.

Yeah, those do hit close to home...guess I've grown up! :thud: I've always liked naps, though...especially on the couch (doesn't make my back sore - yet!) And there's rarely a day I get up before 7am, especially on weekends when I get to sleep in to around 10am.
 
My 9 year old son LOVES the weather channel "!!! ???"

He has a fascination with maps and weather, especially hurricanes and tornados. He's a pretty neat kid !

My autistic son loves the Weather channel. He's so into tornadoes and hurricanes...it's that spinning thing. He even said he wants to live next door to a tornado when he grows up. Crazy kid. He's adorable. :)

Well, some of those are pretty close. A lot of things I didn't do as a 'youngster'.

There must be something about the weather channel (subliminal messages embedded in the weather maps ????) - even my 3.5 year old sometimes asks me if he can watch the weather for a while.
 
Hehe. I just met up with all my highschool friends for a funeral. Its only been 5 years, but last time we saw eachother, we were smoking, drinking, brawling, rowdy punk kids who couldn't, no, didn't want to keep a job. We were all sitting and talking about now we all have bills, our own homes(be it rented or owned) Jobs that we can't just call in with an eye problem(I can't see...........myself coming in today). We never thought we would grow up, and all of a sudden we did. :(
