What Makes You Feel Grown?

[risingstar]

Going into the refrigerator (my OWN refrigerator!) without asking for permission. To this day I still have to remind myself that I'M GROWN .

When my brothers look at my childhood pictures and say, "Ya'll used to wear your hair like that????!!!" or "Ya'll used to wear that? And it was acceptable????!!!!!" LOL

word! my brother and i are 8 years apart and he always gets on me about the early / mid 90s styles and music! im like "man you cant help what's hot at the time... 10 years from now these iced out skull heads and long white t's are gonna be wack!"

(still mad that jim jones can make the youngings think excesive skullhead designs and logos are all the rave)

LOL! Yep. I have two brothers and the middle one is 11 years younger than me. The other one is 12 years younger than me. I guess my momma was like, "Oooh. I need to catch up!"

1. Establishing a firm time to leave the club or party because I need X numbers of hours of sleep to be fully functional.

2. Addressing my college students as "Young Man/Woman"

3. Gossiping with my momma, grandmothers and aunties. I can remember when I was a pre-teen trying to listen to grown folks conversation by being quiet so they wouldn't notice they were talk siht about Mrs. Turner's bad a$$ kids

4. Telling the neighbor's kids to stay off my patio and away from my plants. Ok, it's more like yelling like my momma used to do.

5. Planning the days I can imbibe (and recover).
