I've been thinking recently about what makes someone a "grownup," and I wonder what y'all think. Fill in the blank:
"The difference between a child and an adult is __________"
I'll start:
"The difference between a child and adult is that a child who wants to eat candy for breakfast lacks the freedom to do so; the adult has the freedom but also understands why he shouldn't."
-
And the other difference is that the adult has to pay for their own candy.
-
How I know I'm an adult: I came across some Disney pornography and I wasn't even remotely interested in masturbating to it.
-
When one realizes that there is no one but themselves to figure shit out, that's when you're adult.
-
The difference between childhood and adulthood for me is basically that I am less afraid of death because I am more exhausted.
I'm getting a sleep apnea study at the end of the month, though, that should help.
-
Buddy, if they urge you to try the machine take it.
This.

Are you doing the whole overnight observation thing or the oximeter? I did the oximeter and it's pretty clear from that there is a problem that needs to get addressed, but that was last year and I haven't gone in for the consultation. I need to do that.
-
Oh, if they tell me to take the machine, I'll use it, sure.
I'm just saying.
Life is wearing me down and I want answers.
-
I went in for answers recently and got my thyroid meds increased by half. Good luck to you.

See, I am *more* afraid of death now, because who is going to do all this shit if I'm not here to worry about it?

This is a good one.
You know, this is the good thing about marriage, if you pick someone who has usefully different talents. I have someone in the house to figure the computer shit out, and he has someone in the house to figure out a bunch of the shit that involves dealing with other human beings.

I went in for answers recently and got threaded with cameras from both ends. Eep.
-
Oh, I'm going in for the whole overnight-observation schmear.
The "Full Vader" as my dad calls it.
It doesn't sound pleasant at all but, I mean, if my little bro could have his skull sawed open and his brains tinkered with and be back to his (awful) girlfriend's house in four days, I reckon I can sleep in Cooperstown with a bunch of wires taped to me. I can... probably handle it.

My sympathies. My nine-year-old niece had to have this done last week as well, poor kiddo, and the worst part is they didn't even find anything.
-
someone >30 will eff you over just as thoroughly.

Really, that's the worst part?
-
Well...yeah. We were kind of hoping for something clear-cut, minor, and treatable, so that they would be able to *do* something to make her feel better. When the answer is a collective "beats me" from the medical team, and the only answer is to "wait and see if she outgrows it," well, that's incredibly frustrating. Especially when she's missed a crapload of school (no pun intended) because she's got near-constant diarrhea.
Her dad has Crohn's, so we were pretty worried. I guess at least it's not that. Well, not that they can tell.

The difference between a child and an adult is...
...
um...
Wait, can you repeat the question?
-
The difference between a child and an adult is...
the difference is in who cleans up the toys, parent or significant other.
