Good morning, (it's morning here, anyway) all! This current debate about
what constitutes a grownup planted the seed of an idea in my head. So
without further ado:

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A GROWNUP WHEN:
(This is for amusement purposes only and is not intended to put down
anyone at all.)

You remember when The Fonz was the coolest man alive.

You can name all four of Lucille Ball's television shows.

On the Dick Van Dyke show, Little Richie's middle name was Rosebud,
and you know why.

You don't mind when someone says that you look much younger than your age.

You refer to your CD collection as albums.

You remember what a carbon copy smells like.

When you're driving with your parent and throw your arm of steel in
front of him/her when you come to a sudden stop.

When the radio announcer refers to the songs you listened to when you
were a kid as "oldies."

A misplaced comma makes you a little nuts.

You remember when $30 for a new pair of sneakers was expensive.

When you say, "Life was so much simpler when I was a kid."

You remember paying $1 for a movie ticket.

You typed your papers for school on a typewriter.

You remember when Pong was the greatest game in the world.

You know who said "Dy-no-mite!"

You saw Richard Nixon say "Sock it to me, baby."

You remember when phones really rang, had cords and a circular dial,
and you only had one.

You remember when he was known as "Little" Stevie Wonder.

You remember new math.

You watched news clips of the Vietnam war on the black and white
television in your kitchen during dinner time.

You remember when you had to study Cobol in computer class.

You remember when Aretha Franklin wasn't fat.

When you say to your kids, "You don't know how easy you have it!"
