25 SIGNS THAT YOU'VE 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 a.m. is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on 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 days.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those damn 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 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 no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3am 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. You read this list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply
to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator

this one isn't so bad cause if I hear a song in the elevator thats a "fav" it's probably Margaritaville!

This is scary. Too much of this is way true already! I just graduated from college in May, and I'm teaching school now and getting ready to be married. This is way scary!

Before we get too depressed, kiddies, just remember: we're growing older, but NOT UP!

Tums and Rolaids are merely appetizers.
Moving on to Zantac and Prylosec (like John Elway does!) is for the experienced pros.
