25 signs you've grown up.
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 600 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 ! ! PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condom and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You no longer drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that this doesn't apply to you.

Re: 25 signs you've grown up.
Apparently about 25 is the age where you begin to get old and decrepid. You lose all knowledge of sex, and forget how to treat anyone of the opposite sex. But on the good side , you learn proper use of the english language, and how to spell it.  At least thats what I've been hearing lately, but I know for a fact that I am still going strong at 49,with no signs of slowing down.I know how to treat a lady with all the respect she deserves, and can satisfy her in any way she pleases. All night , if thats what she wants. I am only satisfied, when I see that she has been well satisfied.

Re: 25 signs you've grown up.
I know what you're saying about the ones under 25, the first few times, they have quick, meaningless sex and they think they invented or discovered it,

Oh yes those teenagers. Paybacks are a bitch. You just kinda remember what your parents went though when you were a teenager, it will be worse when your kids are going threw that stage.

Re: 25 signs you've grown up.
THANK GOD!
I'm still just growing older and not growing up!
Some of the best, and most fun people I know, don't know what they want to be when they grow up - and they're all over 50!

Re: 25 signs you've grown up.
In my day, you knew you were grown up when your interest in the other 350 pages of the Sears catalog became interesting and you by-passed the toy section...OMG...I still remember that...I think I'll go take a nap now...

Considering what I put my parents through for about a couple years, I'm going to have to just simply rob a bank in order to get my kid through the troubles for whatever he may bring... then again depending on what's what. Might as well just rob a bank, and keep it for myself and let him deal with the consequences... 
LOL. Jk. I'm not that mean.
