    Sometimes yes... but mostly the answer is a big NO

    In that I'm a horrible nerd I feel like I have "responsible adult points" in a day. When I do responsible things like chores and bill paying it sort of drains out that reserve until I'm left shooting Nerf arrows at cats and playing with My Little Ponies. I regret nossing!

    I saw the movie Pacific Rim last night. In IMAX 3D. I loved it. Giant robots beating the crap out of giant alien monsters. Sound grown up? =)

    Im so grown up I smoke week once in a while I party my butt off I talk stupid crap and I really can act like Im 16 or so. On the other side im on meetings with managers and ceos and im mostly the only woman, I have to be tough, I can work hard and I have responsibility. Life is serious enough so why the f*** not.

    Honestly? Yeah, I am.

    I grew up when I started going to a 12-step program. Best thing I ever did for myself and for the people around me. :wink:

    I still laugh and play a *whole lot*. But today I'm better about sharing my toys, not running with scissors, and knowing when it's naptime.

    Sometimes I go out and pretend to do grown up things and no one notices that I'm a little kid. It's weird.

    Hehe, me too!

    I'm 38, and really think I'm probably about 29 in my mind lol

    The only grown up thing I know is that people are all just human, and most of them don't actually care about what you do.

    40??

    In my 34 years, I never got passed the age of 15 in my mind. Neither has my wife. My kids benefit from it. I buy all these toys "for the kids."

    Heck no! We get to go around once and my inner child has exploded in the last ten years. I find I no longer care what people think of the way I dress or the color of my hair, etc. I love anything dress up...be it Halloween parties, Renaissance faires or being in full Hogwart's school uniform at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I may grow up...I'm just not sure when!

    Nope. I'm very immature with a juvenile sense of humor.


    You can only be a child once but you can be immature forever ;)

    Kurt Vonnegut said it best:
    "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything."

    As a kid I thought I knew everything. I became an adult when I realized I knew nothing.


    I still read comics, have nerf and water gun fights with my friends, I play dress up whenever I clean house...


    I'm not the most mature person...

    My first baby is turning 18 in a few days. I feel very young except when I think about how fast the time goes.

    I can act grown up when I have too, but I am amused and participate in very immature things!

    You obviously don't know me, or you wouldn't have to ask. Internally, I am still a teen.

    THE OLDER I GET...... I've began to realize Im not as young 'acting' as those around me. Thankfully, my heart gets younger everyday.

    I have felt a 40 years old man since I was like 14 and started getting white hair (literally) since then.

    That just sounds wrong! SO how does a 40 year old man feel? :laugh:
