I differentiate between being grown up and being a grownup. I became a grownup in my eyes when my mom passed away a few years ago. My dad died in 1960. When your parents are gone and you have a kid or kids then you are a grownup, at least on the surface. Now, as to whether or not I have grown up? I'm not so sure if I ever will. Inside I'm still 16 and I don't think at this age that will change any time soon! :)

I really dunno...we all could've come with instructions upon us, that'd be helpful...my bet would be that we'd look at things differently gradually, that's when we'd realize that we've grown up!!

A good indication that others think you are grown up is when Christmas starts costing you far more than you take in in gifts. :)

You're a grown up when you take responsibility and start doing the right thing instead of just doing what you want. As far as growing up goes, I probably never will. I'm still a kid at heart and can't see that changing. :)
