I have come across yet another startling revelation, how many is that now? Moving on…adults are senile. I have concocted a list of a very few things that adults do that make me want to hug them…with a rope…around the neck.
Things That Adults Do
1. Exaggerate about everyting
2. Compare their lives to yours, miraculously everything they had to go through is harder
3. Adore lists
4. Try to organize everything into visuals (grocery list, budget, address book)
5. Forget…everything…frequently
6. Make old people noises (when their 30)
7. Complain about their body and aging
8. Talk about how old they are
9. Say “back in my day”
10. Say “respect your elders”
11. Laugh at jokes that only old people laugh at
12. Their childhood is way harder than it actually was…” when I was your age…I had to walk to school…3 miles….through the snow….uphill….both ways…and I got frostbite…” ugh. Grandma…you can’t walk up hill both ways…and you were homeschooled…and you live in Arizona where it never snows..so basically YOUR ENTIRE CHILDHOOD IS A LIE!
13. Get tired really fast and all they want to do is lay…and watch dumb shows about other adults laying and watching dumb shows
14. Complain about everything including about how much someone else complains
15. Eat bland food
16. Like monotony and rituals and other boring things
17. Like old people activities and never leave the house..”Hey jen we should go to the movies or get froyo”
“shh. I want to go sit outside in a chair and stare at the wall in 100°…*insert old person noise*”
18. Hate children and/or teenagers for being young and vibrant and full of opportunity.
19. Be rational and plan things
20. Smell like DEATH and have veiny feet and hands that remind everyone of DEATH
…I think that just about covers it…
