I though about being serious today and realized sometimes I hate being an adult and wish that I could go back to more care free times. Being an adult is not all fun and games but today it is as I reflect on getting old and what being an adult means.
Here is my list of things that might make you go hmmmmm
I am sure most of you can relate to 1 if not all the items on my list.

You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
