Signs You're a Mature Adult


1: You're tempted to do yardwork at someone else's house.
2: Taking a shower helps you feel human again.
3: You chase your cat(s) onto the tiled floor when they're about to puke because it's easier to clean than the carpet or rug.
4: You cart around things like bug repellent, sunscreen, and Band-Aids just in case.
5: You sit in the house alone sometimes with no TV or music on, just for the peace and quiet.
6: You feel so much better after cleaning.
7: You clean when stressed or angry.
8: You largely dislike McDonald's.
9: Reality shows can't hold a candle to documentaries.
10: You know the book is better than the movie.
11: You take more than one pill a day.
12: You've ever thought that youth is wasted on the young.
13: You've said "I'm sorry" and truly meant it.
14: You know how to write thank you notes.
15: You aren't ashamed to ask for help.
16: You eat foods you don't like because they are good for you.
17: Caffeine moves from 'beverage' to 'food group'.
18: You can admit you're wrong without becoming defensive.
19: You research something just to learn about it.
20: You accept certain facts about yourself (I have curly hair. I'm finally okay with it).
21: You are trying to change your bad habits.
22: You've ever put someone else's needs ahead of your own.
23: You are certain you could survive at least a week without a cell phone and computer.

26: "Sleeping in" means you get up no later than 9am.
27: You're certain the 80's weren't that long ago.
28: You're allowed to do the stuff you weren't allowed to do as a kid but no longer care (who wants to watch two movies in a row? And cake for breakfast = a stomachache by lunch).
29: You wish there was a rollover plan for all those naps you refused as a kid.
30: You get to play Sherlock Holmes a lot. Like when you enter a room (why did I come in here?) or need a household item (where on earth is the hammer? Who had it last?....)
31: You know your priorities and stick to them.
32: You know you don't have forever to do the things you want to do, so you don't put them off all the time.
33: You try to waste less.
34: You wish you had less waist.
35: You're psyched about getting an EZ Pass.

  2. Actually I watch Intervention and Hoarders (the one where they clean out the house and give them aftercare therapy). I also watch Dancing with the Stars....
