Adulthood

How do you know that you're truly an adult?? No, it doesn't happen on your 21st birthday. It doesn't even truly happen when your friends are getting married around you. And it doesn't even truly sink in when you're having the worst hangover of your life. No, it truly happens when you're at a birthday party of a 6 year old as friend of the mom and the birthday girl calls you Aunty. That's when you realise that you have moved onto territory that you once thought was exclusive to your parents and teachers. Well, I might be an adult now, but that sure as hell doesn't mean that I'm all "grown up". Happy birthday Shinay:-)
