I was able to relate to more of these than I care to admit!! :eek:


According to Jeff Foxworthy,
you're not a kid anymore WHEN...

You can live without sex but not without your glasses.

You quit trying to hold in your stomach, no matter who walks into the room.

You enjoy watching the news.

The phone rings and you hope its not for you.

The only reason you're still awake at 4 am is indigestion.

People ask what color your hair USED to be.

You're proud of your lawnmower.

Your best friend is dating someone half their age AND isn't breaking any laws.

You start singing along with the elevator music.

You really do want a new washing machine for your birthday.

Your car has four doors.

You routinely check the oil in your car.

You've owned clothes so long that they've come back into style--TWICE.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

You consider coffee one of the most important things in life.

8 AM is your idea of "sleeping in".

You don't remember when you got that mole...or the one next to it.

You write thank you notes without being told.

Neighbors borrow your tools.

You answer a question with "Because I said so!"

Others ask for your recipes.

You start Christmas shopping in August.

You paint walls for a reason other than getting your deposit back.

You don't like to drive after dark.

You say the words "Turn that music down!"

You wear black socks with sandals.

You point out what buildings used to be where.

You know all the warning signs of a heart attack.

You rake the yard without being told to.

You can't remember the last time you lay on the floor to watch television.

The service station attendant lets you pump your gas before paying.

Now tell the truth--aren't you OLD?

I was at my 30th high school reunion 2 years ago with a group of friends from the "good old days", comparing notes on our children. I told the story of when after an arguement with my daughter one night, I looked in the mirror and was horrified to find my mother looking back at me. She always said that some day I would have a child just like me, but I never thought that I would turn into to my mom. LOL:D
