10. The cordless and cell phones
need constant recharging.
9. You buy milk and orange juice
by the gallon. Every day.
8. They complain that their
stereos just don't have enough amps. You take your
earplugs out to hear what they're saying.
7. If they're boys, you find
yourself washing the same clothes over and over. If
they're girls, you haven't seen the same outfit
twice in over a month.
6. You feel like you're still
raising toddlers: you say something and they oppose
it.
5. They dream of pizza,
hamburgers,and fries. You dream of a nice thick
steak. But guess what you end up having for dinner?
4. The electric company sends you
a Holiday Greetings card each year. The microwave,
computer, tv, and stereo are in constant use and
they are proud to be your electrical supplier.
3. "Hey!" replaces "hi!"
2. Their hugs for you are big and
generous. But,of course,not in front of friends.
1. And one day you realize that
you can have a mature conversation with your
teenager. And you find yourself grinning from ear to
ear, proud of how he/she is growing up.
