when did you realize you were a grown-up?

When I started losing hair.

 

Who said I've realized it?

 

Good Answer, Got A Rep From Grumpy Old GLEN...:sunny:

Same, had to leave home at 15.

 

I think it was at my 24th birthday dinner with my parents and grandma when I had the absolute worst chicken fettuccine alfredo I've ever had and I just forced my way through all of it without even complaining once. When I was a kid, I would have refused to eat that garbage, but it was a nice dinner out with my grandma and my parents and my dad was paying, so I just kept my mouth shut and ate. I did not go back to that restaurant. lol

 

hmmm never

 

the day i got kicked out of Toys R Us... guess im no longer a toy r us kid..

 

how the hell did you get kicked out of toys r us? I've been in them barefooted, fucked up, throwing shit around, riding their bikes and scooters and talking in a not so inside voice and no one said anything

 

ive been 'dirty looked' out of a toys r us before. now i have a 4 year old, so i can get away with it, but the overpriced crap there isnt worth it,

i wasnt really a toys r us kid when i was little anyway.

 

I realized the process was underway when I first left home at 17, with about 20 bucks, to fend for myself for a few weeks. I hitchiked a few hundred miles in one direction and a few hundred in another, sleeping outside without a tent. I had a fishing rod with me and was usually accompanied by one or another buddy. We sought out friendly local girls (much to the hatred of the local guys) and cadged cigarettes and food.

Good times. But it sure taught me a deep-seated and life-long appreciation of warm, bug-free beds and full fridges. Which in turn led me to appreciate my parents more....

And so it goes.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself!

 

im just more confused about life if that counts?

 

it does it its own way. when i was a kid i thought that when i grew up id know wtf was happening, and ive have shit figured out. now i know that in fact, no, you still have no fucking clue what is happening, but you have to move forward anyway

 

When I said. "WHo keeps letting the fucking heat out"... or "in or out make up your mind"..

 

I'm not paying to air condition the outside!

This was the worst coming from my dad, the HVAC guy

 

yeazh. that one too.. and when stop calling people by the names, and refer them as Jesus Christ.. Jesus Christ now what, Jesus Christ them kids are making alot of noise, Jesus Christ here we go again.. :devil:

 

I do this, but I'm not really calling them jesus christ but just exclaiming the phrase jesus christ in disgust

 

haha.. "you were'nt raised in a barn... shut the door",,, classic, heard all my life,,
