Tbf when I was 8-9 years old I thought that 14 year olds were fully grown adults.
This but it just keeps on going.
8? 15 = adult
15? 25 = adult
25? 35 = adult
I have income, a job, a car, a place to live. I dont feel like an adult yet.
You become an adult when you hear someone telling their kids to behave or "that mister" will tell them off.
You look around. There's nobody else. You have become The Mister. The stranger based punishment of exasperated mothers everywhere. You are now an adult.
Nothing quite prepared me for the first time I had a doctor who was younger than me.
So, all you have to do to be an adult is get a retail job? Nice.
Same here, save a car. I am also waiting for that magical moment when "you will understand when you grow up". Welp, how much more growing do I have to do to reach that magical understanding ~~that some grown-ups are toxic morons~~ untold mysteries of the universe
35? 45 = adult over 40? I am supposed to be an adult? That doesn't sound right.
