Why I’ll Never Be Treated Like An Adult

• I work at the same responsibility level as people who are still undergoing puberty.

• I leave the discarded crust edges of my pizza on my plate.

• I have been using a cake tin as a salad bowl for at least a year, rather than forking out the $3 to buy a larger bowl.

• I think of vacuuming as an ‘optional’ household chore.

• On more than one occasion at a formal event, I’ve been told that my shirt is not ironed.

• I am still always in shock when the toilet paper supply runs out.

• I’d like to buy a dog, but my first thought is immediately “but who will feed it?”

• I still accept money for petrol off my mum when I visit.

• I create scenarios in my head where I envision telling off someone who has recently pissed me off.

• Washing my clothes consists of washing, drying and then being left in a pile on the floor for an undetermined period of time.

• I allow myself a big enough period of time in the morning to snooze my alarm clock at least 5 times.

• I giggle at words like ‘tits.’

• I still use the phrase ‘when I grow up.’
