You Know You're an Adult When...

...

1.) When you take kids to Boo at the Zoo and are the only one there at the end of the day to carry the sleeping 3-year old through the Zoo, across the parking lot, AND the field (because it was so busy you had to park on the street) to your car while her little sleeping body keeps falling away from (and sliding down) your body.

2.) When the lawn mower runs out of gas with fifteen feet of grass left to cut.

3.) When you realize that the only reason you buy Strawberries is because you THINK you should eat them...but you actually like Dried Apricots better, so you decide you can buy dried apricots instead (without guilt!) because THEY ARE FRUIT TOO!

4.) When you consider that maybe security is better than adventure.

5.) When you buy new shoes you call your "job interview shoes" and make sure they don't get muddy.

Boo to number 4! It's generally true, but I so wish that it wasn't!

unfortunately, welcome to the grown up world. It can be a lot meaner than you think, but it does have it's benefits!

YOU LIKE DRIED APRICOTS BETTER THAN STRAWBERRIES??? That is the final straw, we can't be friends any more.

We will still need to live together though, just not friends. You understand.

Why were you mowing the lawn?? Was it the New Life lawn?
