A lot of memes I across the Internet are about how everyone, no matter how old, is just a kid inside, trying to figure out what’s going on, which is something I definitely identify with.

But every once in a while, something happens that does actually make me feel like a grown-up. It’s usually small, and kind of silly, but it’s fun, and I thought people might want to share theirs.

For me, most recently, it was realizing I like Greek yogurt now. It was trendy when I was like 12, and I couldn’t stand it then, but I bought some on a whim, and now I keep the fridge stocked. That drastic change in my tastes took me aback momentarily, but I thought it was a nice fun little milestone.

How about you?

    The first time going to a hardware store for something I needed and being like “oooh I want that” to like half the random shit in the store like light fixtures and lawn furniture.

    Being excited to see furniture is definitely an adult feeling.

      Dude…I just bought a coffee table that has liftaway tops to create a desk, AND hidden storage compartment.

      Im excited about a coffee table.

        Oh, I am so jealous. I saw one of those online recently, with the picture showing the top extended towards the couch and I felt so dumb. I’d never thought about using them as a table when they’re open. Totally would have changed the coffee table purchase I just made 😭

      For sure. As a kid, I never would have loved spending so much time at the thrift store lol
