You Know You're An Adult When....

I was reading a post the other night called  20 Signs That You're An Adult. I stumbled upon it  via yet another blogger - Fox In Flats - proving yet again that it is a trap to keep surfing the net late at night when you should be sleeping!  Anyway, this post is so funny becasue it's so true and I was inspired to start my own list -  many of which you might recognise as I have posted about some of these things before.

So in addtion to the original, I add:

You Know You're An Adult When...
  1. You drive a minivan with sliding doors
  2. You can unstack a dishwasher and breast feed a baby - at the same time
  3. You need to know what 'superannuation' actually means - and realise it's not that super
  4. When $4,000 a year on private health insurance seems like a good use of your money
  5. When you're as excited over a new dishwasher as you are over new shoes - possibly even more if you've been washing dishes by hand for a week
  6. Sleep is a more attractive option than sex (especially when your kids are tiny)
  7. You decide not to buy that divine new coat as you know the money would be better directed to your mortgage
  8. You really care about turning off the lights and appliances to save electricity and not becasue of the environment
  9. You can clean up poo and vomit without gagging - or even batting an eyelid for that matter
  10. Activities like gardening are now enjoyable
So what do you think the criteria is? Feel free to add your own  and let's see if we can get 20.
