I have come to the brash realization at the age of twenty seven that I am now an adult. How do I know? Phrases such as: "Well, when I was a kid ..."; "He's only a nineteen year old boy, what the hell does he know?"; "She is twenty five years old and should be acting her age."; "His hair is so 90's!"; are coming out of my mouth.
I never thought that I would become my parents, but I have. I have become the sort of person who is under the false impression that being twenty seven makes me automatically better than anyone born after 1980.
I was a stupid, young, jaded twenty year old as well. I thought that I knew how the world worked. I thought I was going to get married, be in a rock band, make millions of dollars, and live the rock star life because my music was just that good. Listening to it now, I realize we cared much more about being loud than we did about being, well, good.
It's come to the point where I sit back and watch my twenty year old brother with a grain of salt the size of Idaho. When he starts spouting off the things he's learned in his sophomore Philosophy course, my boyfriend and I exchange long glances and try to hide smiles. The sad thing is, this makes me a total bitch on wheels.
My boyfriend and I are going to be that old couple on the street that all the kids are afraid of because we walk dogs that could bite their heads off, and scream at the children to "Get the hell off my lawn!" I mean, babies are cute and all, and small children can be entertaining for a short while, but I'm at the point (at twenty seven) where I no longer want to talk to anyone under the age of twenty three.
I have conversations with my boyfriend and my friends about "their generation" VS "my generation." And while I claim that I identify much more with Generation X than the 'Net Generation, they put forth that I have a very small attention span, and I still think I know everything. (Well .... )
Someone has to stop me before I start spouting, "Well, they don't make [insert thing here] like they used to ..."
