The Moment I Realized I Was Old
Theres really something about growing up. For me the moment I sort of realized I was no longer a kid was when I started buying cereal, not based on the amount of marshmallows or frostedness, but when I started looking at the fiber content at the main selling point :)
What was it for you (or what do you think it will be) that made you realize you were no longer a kid?

For me it was worrying about legal obligations and having my signature on my first lease agreement back in 2008. That made me feel all grown up… and scared.
Although these days I’m signing lease agreements like a boss. Moved three times since then!
Heh, I sort of had the same experience buying my first house, it was like I was signing my life away…
I find their impact on the internet rather amusing, and while Im far from the levels of devotion shown by other viewers, i am able to derive amusement watching it now and then
Er, this was supposed to be a reply to the pony thread…
Still am a kid
I may get older but I refuse to grow up.
This. Getting old is overrated. Childhood forevah
That’s right.
Now if you’ll excuse I’m going to go watch season 1 of My Little Pony… again.
Woo ponies!
(I kind of hate ponies)
Don’t make me hurt you…
gonna sick yer pony on me? I’m not afraid.
i dont plan on growing up either. but if it does happen, i think it will be hangovers getting worse.
I think my moment was when I started hearing about stuff that happened in the nineties and thinking “Hey that wasn’t so long ago”, and then subsequently realizing that it was twenty years ago.
if only there was a way for us to never grow up.
Don’t eat your veggies!
For me, it’s when young ladies address me as “Sir…”
I used to have long hair and would get addressed as “miss” from time to time…I have since cut my hair :)
Hmm I would have to say the moment I grew up was when I was 16 and my dad passed away, having to drop out of school and get a job to support the family was a big thing so I was happy to do just that, Ill be 20 this month so almost 4 years has passed..GED here I come! :D
Hooray fer schoolin’! Also happy birthday :)
I remember worrying about money and diet ever since I was really little, but I refuse to grow up, so I guess I’m caught somewhere in between. :/
yayyy, new PJF!!! ^_^ hm, well, Saturday I went to the highschool graduation party of a guy I first met when he was a baby. yup. also as I was getting ready to go to the party, I noticed my hair was quite sparkly. (sparkly = silver hairs.)
I also have a gray hair http://pajamaforest.com/2010/05/13/older-and-wiser-redux/
Gray whiskers. I love the shirt!
T’was time for new threads :)
your shirt reminds me of both the flash and dave strider (look it up)
I moved cross-country with my fiancée, and had a kid less than six months later, and I was still nineteen. Wow, I just realized how messed up that sounds.
I finally, totally grew up when I had my first kid. Sure I’m still silly and do fun (read: childish) things, but having to make sure a little person is safe and loved makes you need to be an adult.
Also, no cereal for me, I can’t drink milk :P
Perhaps a substitute for the milk? Cereal is the shiznitz.
I realized that I was growing up when I filed my taxes by myself for the first time…it was scary.
I realized I grew up when… Actually I still haven’t grown up yet.
I read this comment while eating frosted mini wheats. Which is the cereal you’re eating in this comic strip, which I find extremely creepy. And awesome.
Actually, it’s worse than frosted mini wheats…It’s Post’s *Lightly* frosted shredded wheat :\
Ick. That sounds like frosted mini wheats with most of the fun sucked out of it…
This is terrible. This means I’ve been old since I was 16!
Someone get me my wheelchair. And some Gummi Bears. I need cheering up…
I’ll know I’ve grown up when I realize there’s a correlation between going to bed at 2AM after staying up playing video games all night and feeling lik at 7 the next morning. So, no time soon, really! Gonna be 21 in 3 days.
I realized… Wait… I’m a 17 year old cartoonist XD
Although I do like Frosted Mini Wheats.
going to big boy jail….
i just turned thirteen! and im talking about this already? XD oh well new shirt…? (or really old one?)
I realized how old I was when my younger brother started getting old and ‘regular’…
and the fact that I too prefer “lightly” shredded wheat to frosted mini wheats
I never want to grow up
i’ll keep eating Lucky Charms until i feel good :)
for me it was having to take part of the family meetings,it made me realize i was getting old,but i may NEVER get mature…ever…
shoot i said may…ok i WILL never get mature ever
no take backsies!
Well I have been complaining about back problems… and my boss looked at me and said, “* girl you’re getting old!”
But I’m only 21
growing up you have to do, maturing, completely optional
I like your t-shirt. ^_^
When I stop liking awesome t-shirts is when I shall no longer be a kid.
