Yes, I am now an adult!
I used to think I was, but I was wrong.
When I turned 13, I was pretty sure I was.
At 16, I got a "real job" and that proved it!
At 18, I got married
duh......
ALL grown up!
Then I had babies,
learned to drink coffee,
graduated from college.
Grown up for sure!
My children married,
grandchildren came along,
I became the matriarch.
Surely that made me a grown up!
Then my husband died,
grief and sorrow became my companions,
I began a relationship,
broke it off,
more grief and sorrow,
and I aged,
but I now know I was still not a grown up.
Nope.
In order to be a grown up,
one must develop an ulcer.
NOW I am a grown up!
Can I go back back to not being a grown up?
Please....
