ON BEING A GROWN-UP

From Reddit, here are some thoughts from readers on being an adult:
– “A thing I never realized about being an adult is that you will always be cleaning your kitchen. Even if you’re gone all day, you will be cleaning the kitchen.”
– “One thing no one ever talks about being an adult is how much time you debate yourself on keeping a cardboard box because it’s, like, a really good box.”
– “Adulting is putting back the $4.86 pack of chicken and getting the $4.66 pack because that twenty cents adds up.”
– “The reality is that adulthood is mostly just trying to figure out what you’re eating for dinner every night, forever.”
– “Being an adult is so weird. I’m just unsupervised all the time? How unsafe.”
– “Guy detailing my car says, ‘Yeah, your kids had goldfish crackers all under your seats.’ I’m single, 32 years old, childless.”
– “Being an adult really just means you have an upstairs bottle of ibuprofen and a downstairs bottle of ibuprofen.”
– “Nobody talks about Jesus’ miracle of having 12 close friends in his 30s.”
– “When parents say to kids “go to ur room & think about what you’ve done” it’s really good practice for what you’ll do every night as an adult.”
* Stop whining! When you’re an adult, you can have ice cream any time you want! Also liquor.
* And these people are also all responsible for their own personal hygiene. Yuck!
* How grown up can you be if you’re still goofing around on Reddit?
* I expected more complaining about student loans.
* Some people never become adults. Then they visit Yellowstone. (See Yellowstone tourist story.)
