you know you’re a grown-up when …

… you’re able to say no, no, no! to those truly adorable platform wedge slingbacks because you’re saving for the trip to Paris you’ve always dreamed of.

… the checker at the grocery store calls you “ma’am” and you don’t plummet into a monthlong depression.

… you say, “I know Mom means well”–and you really mean it.

… waffles become your dinner of choice now and then–not because there’s nothing else in the house to eat but just because you like them.

… you figure out that Prince Charming lives in the same universe as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

… you also realize that not all the “good ones” are married or gay.

… a normally even-tempered friend flies off the handle at you, and rather than snarling back, you wonder if there’s something going on with her.

… your primary feeling toward Britney is one of pity.

… you suddenly get why your father complained so much about taxes.

… you feel no compulsion to adopt the current sizzling-hot (and really stupid-looking) fashion trend; you know that, like a mild rash, it’ll soon go away on its own.

… the idea of staying in is just as appealing as the idea of going out.

… you decide to learn how to a) play the guitar, b) speak Italian, and c) scuba dive, for no other reason than your own desire.

… rocking out along with the radio no longer embarrasses you. In fact, you turn it up.

… the proverb “Life is short, but wide” starts to make sense.

2) What’s in the witch’s brew is nobody’s business but her own.
3) When did “big kid with a pillow case” become an acceptable costume?
4) Bats eat harmful insects. What do they want? A medal?
5) “Scantily clad chambermaid.” “Horned temptress.” Are all adult costumes designed by men?
