Just one peanut butter and jelly sandwich doesn't do it any more.
Driving a car doesn't always sound like fun.
The average ten-year-old doesn't have a clue who Bo and Luke Duke are.
Being bad is no longer cool.
You have friends who have kids.
Saturday mornings are for sleeping.
You are taller than the slide at the McDonald's playland.
Your parents' jokes are now funny.
You have once said, "Whutch-you talkin' 'bout Willis?"
You have owned, and since disowned Michael Jackson's Thriller album.
You would rather wear your dirty clothes again, 'cause mom is not there to do your laundry anymore.
Two words: parachute pants
Naps are good.
Hitting girls is no longer considered flirting.
You have once deemed Space Invaders as "the best game ever."
When things go wrong, you can't just yell, "Do-over!"
The only thing in your cereal box is ... cereal.
You actually buy scarves, gloves, and sunscreen.
Your idea of fun parties now include chips 'n' salsa and Snapple.
You leave concerts and ballgames early to beat the crowd.
You WANT clothes for Christmas.
You don't want a Camaro because of the insurance premiums.
You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny.
You've bought an album on vinyl.
You remember seeing Star Wars when it first came out.
You look in the surveillance camera monitor at the convenience store, wonder who that guy is standing at the counter with the bald spot, and then realize it is a shot of you from behind.
We're all in the same game;
Just different levels.
Dealing with the same hell;
Just different demons.
I had a moment earlier when I thought "I know what would be an exciting plan for the afternoon, I'll get on this bus and just stay on it until the end of it's journey (as I have a pass so don't have to pay each time I get on) and see where it takes me rather than get off at my usual stop". Then I remembered that I actually have things to do and whilst I do know it goes to a shopping centre which is supposed to be quite good I don't particularly want to go and it reminded me of my parents conversation where there older friends decided that when they got their old age bus passes they would constantly go out places on the bus and just see where they'd end up so I was like there thinking hmmmm... that sounds just like what I'm thinking!
When you look for your husband at a museum and wonder who's the guy with the paunch and the bald spot.
If you remember when Michael Jackson had a nose.
When you think 9pm is way too late to go to the movies.
When you refer to your birthday as the annual gray hair and wrinkle check.

Reason: add something
My husband is my best friend.
In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
Kims getting old. We shall have to save up an buy her a zimmer frame
You know I want an old person's scooter!!! I think you should get me one next xmas (if I'm still around on RYL then)... you know you like me that much you'd want to save up all your pennies to get me one (not got a clue how much they cost or anything!). I could annoy EVERYONE, it would be great
I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and am reminded every day that I am no longer a child. Apparetnly there is a dance called the "Stinky Leg" and I am just not cool enough to do it. I also have a hard time doing the "Wu Tang"
I think that if you cannot or feel too silly doing the new dance craze you have grown up.
listen and learn
the universe speaks
as we crawl and crave
as we love and weep
there is no fate
there is only what we make
I feel grown up now cos when i was picking my friend up at 3.30am to go to work last week we passed some students munching their kebab just out the pub!
is it bad that i am only 15 and i find some of those true
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

* Driving has never been fun. Then again, I learned to drive until I was 21
* My parents' jokes are still not funny.
* I was never into MC Hammer, so no parachute pants for me
* Naps are never good, they are a waste of time. However, sometimes necessity overcomes
* Space Invaders ain't no Chrono Trigger
* What I really want for Christmas is to not have to listen to Christmas songs at work
* I never watched SNL
* I have been planning on buying some Carcass albums on vinyl, but only for the sake of collecting (I don't even have a vinyl player)
* Sometimes I look at the surveillance camera and think "who's that girl". Then I realize it is me with my hair covering my face
When I read the one about peanut butter and jelly I busted out laughing because I made one earlier and after I finished it I was like "wow, I want another one". But I did not make one....instead I took a nap...haha.
I feel really boring now. I don't like to party like most of my friends. I don't really see the reason to get drunk for the heck of it...but then again I'm in a different state than they are and well yeah...anyway.
I think i'd better join you on the swings.
