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?

    Getting excited over “mundane” things. New silverware, vacuum cleaner, pan etc.

    Going over bank statements. Going over stock options.

    Using hot water to wash my hands instead of cold (don’t even do this yet but I’ll know I’ll be a geezer when I do).

    Not caring about others opinions about you. Just living your life.

    Cooking. Specifically soup and porridge.
