Young DUer freaks out HEyHEY

[HEyHEY]

11? In 2000, 16 now....ahhhhhhhhhH!!!!!

Well, that thoroughly freaked me out.

1. try this on:

I was mistaken for my friend's dad the other day. And at the Cactus Club, no less, which hurts even more.

[NYC Liberal]

6. I've mistaken 7th and 8th graders for seniors in HS.

Imagine my surprise when I found out! :freak:

[HEyHEY]

8. WHat were you doing at the cactus club?

My god man

[CanuckAmok]

11. My god, indeed. If I have to explain *that*...

:eyes:

[HEyHEY]

16. Dating someone with terrible tastes in crappy "Hip" restaurants?

[CanuckAmok]

26. Oggling the servers...duh!

That's why anyone goes.

Although the Thai Chicken Rice Bowl is pretty great.

19. Try THIS on:

I was mistaken for my dad's wife at the grocery store a couple weeks ago (dad and I were shopping while mom was out of town). :crazy:

I'm 34, he's 62.

[Kathleen04]

21. That's happened to me a couple times before

Once when I was 11 and my dad was 40..Blech!!

[Lady Effingbroke]

22. ewwww, that's nasty!

:puke:

[sandnsea]

31. Worst is yet to come

The day you see the father and son, and realize your age would indicate you ought to be checking out the father... oh that's a killer.

[flamingyouth]

2. Aren't you 25 or something?

:D

[HEyHEY]

7. yup

[flamingyouth]

9. I'm almost 36

When they start playing songs from your high school years on the classic rock station, get back to me on this. :D

[HEyHEY]

12. AH

:scared:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. Umm hmm, that was when I knew I had passed on to the other side.

BTW, I am 36, also. :)

[Sporadicus]

25. To Put Things in Perspective

I have a daughter older than you.

[Hello_Kitty]

3. That kid was born around the first time I voted

For Dukakis in '88!

[redsoxliberal]

4. you're strange.

[HEyHEY]

10. You just wait - it will happen to YOU!

BWahahhaha

[democracyindanger]

5. That's nothing

I got a notice from Blue Cross the other week notifying me I've entered the next age bracket.

THAT'S reason for freaking out.

[MisterP]

13. you remember 200?

what's it like, as increasing Christianization of the Empire leads to escalating persecution?

[HEyHEY]

15. That was a hell of a year!

[miss_kitty]

14. for me, it was hearing some 'kids'

say "So like, everybody talks about it it all the time. I mean anytime it comes up it's all how sad they were and how everyone was crying...I mean what's the big deal about John Kennedy!?!" I was about 25 when I heard that one

[Feathered Fish]

17. Many a youngster 'round here.

Yay! There is hope.

[Placebo]

18. Why can't you just leave me alone?

What did I ever do to you? :cry:

[Kellanved]

20. well

I'm still carded everywhere. Not a big surprise stateside, but considering that the drinking age here is 14-16, it is a little alarming for a 24-year old.

[tigereye]

23. well at least these kids are aware

I didn't get interested in politics til I was in college. Way to go young DUers!

[miss_kitty]

24. I got carded well into my 30s

I am sad it doesn't happen anymore. Unless the light is really bad. I mean REALLY REALLY bad. Not on.

[htuttle]

27. I'm an adult now

Well, I don't hate my parents
I don't get drunk just to spite them
I've got my own reasons to drink now
Think I'll call my dad up and invite him
I can sleep in 'til noon anytime I want
Though there's not many days that I do
Gotta get up and take on that world
When you're an adult it's no cliche, it's the truth

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

I can't even look at young girls anymore
People will think I'm some kind of pervert
Adult sex is either boring or dirty
Young people they can get away with murder
I don't write songs about girls anymore
I have to write songs about women
No more boy meets girl boy loses girl
More like man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

I can't take any more illicit drugs
I can't afford any artificial joy
I'd sure look like a fool lying dead in a ditch somewhere
With a mind full of chemicals like some cheese-eating high school boy

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now

Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts
And I guess that it won't be long
'Til I'm sitting in a room with a bunch of people whose necks and backs are aching
Whose sight and hearing's failing who just can't seem to get it up
Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket
Noise, but I can't hear anything
Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
Some guy screaming in a leather jacket
Wooah!

'Cause I'm an adult now
I'm an adult now
I've got the problems of an adult
On my head and on my shoulders
I'm an adult now
