All grown up now

I had an epiphany today about being an adult. How did I finally realize that I am an adult?

It wasn’t that I could drive a car….
It wasn’t that I could buy cigarettes and lotto tickets…
It wasn’t that I could buy beer or drink apple martinis in little dive bars with my friends…
It wasn’t that the people who have raised me died many years ago…
It wasn’t that I have a college degree…
It wasn’t that I will have a master’s degree in about six weeks…
It wasn’t that I am married….
It wasn’t that I have my own place and have had so for many years….
It wasn’t even that I have a son…

No, what clued me into that I was now an adult came in the form of chocolate, sugar, and screaming bright neon pastels at the local Rite-Aid. It came in the form of a Cadbury egg.

Yes, that’s right… a Cadbury egg clued me into the fact that I was an adult. I usually love to eat at least one of those things during the spring. This year, I bit off the top of the egg like I always do.

It was revolting.

Absolutely disgusting.

Ahhh… childhood is now officially over.

I am an adult.
