You Know You're an Adult When...

You get mucus relief pills and a bottle of Zyrtec in your stocking Christmas morning and you are ecstatic. I can't remember for certain but I'm pretty sure there was a happy dance involved. I don't remember at what age I started asking for practical gifts like a blender or something boring like that but this year I did good to even think of something to ask for. I mean for crying out loud, my Mother was asking what I wanted and it took me 30 minutes to write a Facebook message with " a hair dryer" in it. When the only thing you can think of that you actually WANT is a hair dryer, you've reached adulthood.

Kenny on the other hand knew exactly what he wanted for months and made sure he told me whenever he had the chance. Like everyday. I heard " Mommy can I have a skateboard?", or "Mommy can we go to the store and buy me a skateboard and a helmet so I don't break my head?" I had to explain to him each and every time that he had to wait till Christmas. And each and every time he hung his little head like he was just told the end of the world was coming. So when Christmas morning came and he finally unwrapped his skateboard, the look on his face was worth more then any present anyone could ever give me. Even the Zyrtec. I may not get alot of gifts like I did as a kid, but you know you're an adult when it doesn't matter.

 I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!
