Originally Posted By iamsally >>>You drink at home to save money before going to a bar<<< Uh, that is what I DID in my 20's. Don't go to bars anymore and rarely drink so no longer applicable. Why is it people get so uptight over their parents having sex? My kids freak out over the thought but don't mind giving me TMI. (I mean, how did we all get here?) I refuse to acknowledge any of these as I am NOT a grown up. (Right Trish?!?)

Luckily though I read this "90% of the time you spend in front of the computer is actually for real work". So, CLEARLY, I am NOT a grown-up! Here are some other "warning signs" google found for us: a good Friday night involves pizza, a fire, and not leaving the house you know the difference between “sea foam green†and “aquamarine†your phone rings on the weekend, and you hope it's not for you you look at an ad of a scantily clad young lady in front of a new Porsche, and you wish you had the Porsche you take pride in knowing an NFL coach takes the same cholesterol medicine that you do and one of my favorites: kids in high school look like third graders, especially when they're behind the wheel of a car

You clean the house when you're home alone, and it's not because you just threw a forbidden party. You set the sleep timer on the TV for 30 minutes when you get in bed at 10:30. You have the DVR set to record Oprah, Jeopardy and Wheel so you can watch them when you want. You know all the words to a 14 year old pop icon's CD because it's in your car CD player and there's 2 car seats in the back seat. You realize that the mess in the house consists of Barbies, Princesses, and Baby Dolls instead of Pizza Boxes and Fashion and Celeb magazines. Instead of above mentioned Fashion and Celeb Magazines in your mailbox, you get Family Fun, Wonder Time, Sesame Street, and Highlights for Kids magazines. You bring your own coffee cup to Starbucks, not to save 10 cents, but to be GREEN. **These are my own revelations as I'm closing in on my 28th birthday**
