I read a great list on buzzfeed.com titled 16 Things That Happen When You Become An Actual Adult. Granted the intention of the piece was focused on financial stability, but it got me thinking... Based on some of the attributes mentioned, it seems I'm still far from achieving this particular life goal- to be an adult. To help comfort myself during this time, I thought it might be fun to make my own list of the reasons why I am far, far from becoming an "actual adult" - While I'm super excited for those who have managed to make this impressive transformation, perhaps there are other overgrown children like me out there who lack the ability to properly grow up and don't mind so much.
15 Things That Let Others Know You Haven't Grown Up Yet
1) You enjoy coloring with crayons and "arts and crafts time" can still be used as a method of entertaining you so you don't get out of hand.
2) You prefer riding a bike to driving a car.
3) You have little trouble falling asleep... unless you are really excited.
4) You believe - without question- that The Muppets and Beings born at Jim Henson's Creature Shop are real.
5) You save money in a plastic jar for special things you want to buy.
6) With the exception of items given to you by parents and grandparents, ALL of your jewelry is either sterling silver or plastic. The really good pieces are both.
7) You sing aloud often and talk to yourself on a regular basis. Sometimes you sing the conversations you have with yourself because once you start, you can't stop.
8) Snow makes you happy
9) You don't think it's odd when people of the same gender or of different races kiss each other because you just think it's nice to see humans who are happy.
10) You'd rather play and laugh with your friends then discuss stock options, consumer reports or politics.
11) You need to be reminded on a regular basis that it's not always appropriate to answer all questions with complete honesty and the word "tact" is used a lot during the lectures.
12) You spend more time in the ocean than you do on the beach.
13) You enjoy smiling at and talking to strangers even though you've been told it's dangerous.
14) You believe that a bad day can be made better with a hug, comfy jammies and maybe some ice cream.
15) Not only do your children want to spend time with you but they surprise you every day by how amazing they are despite having you as a parent.
