Twenty-five 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 ?breakup.?

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 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.

Aha! I don't watch the Weather Channel - basic basic basic cable, so I don't get it. The Discovery Channel is the best I get.

15 - I don't have a couch
20, 22, 24 - I don't drink.





27. You feel an odd compulsion to yell at kids on your lawn.
28. You can't stand extended periods around college students on the weekends.


I think I "grew up," with respect to this list, sometime before I turned 21.

About to hit this one (first full-time offer out of college 2 days ago). Ugh, sucks.

You take those drugs advertised on TV and talk about them in normal conversation.

For you and or your S.O. sex becomes more of an obligation, like moving the lawn once or twice a week, than something you look forward to. And trimming the bushes no longer has a second meaning.
