Being an adult...what does that really mean?

Ascot, I came up during that same generation. My parents had the parties as well. Never once thought of that as being a adult for me....it was watching adults still have fun. Our parties, included, being thrown in the pool. Clearing out the furniture for dancing, and all kinds of laughing among the "older" people.

On occasion of my at home snooping of my mothers things, I found her high school yearbooks and her dairies. I read them of course, looking forward to that time of my life. I thought then, "I wonder if she remembers this stuff" ? I suppose once you get older, those memories drift. My younger memories are with me always. Just because I'm older, I didn't loose those younger times.

You know, I look back at different stages of life, phases, and all the things you were suppose to do as you get older. The things that "make " you an adult. I know I'm an adult in the choices I make, the responsibilities I have, the consequences, and the life I lead.

Yet, when, I'm among family or friends, it's the same younger emotions, thoughts, and or fun actions. It doesn't make me feel " adult" like. It's just me. It's just us.

So for me, I know I'm an adult, yet in my mind, I'll never be.

Please, please, don't you ever call me "old lady". Lol lol
