Goodbye Childhood

You know you have reached the end of your childhood
When Christmas is a lot of work and Naps are good
When Saturday mornings are now just for sleeping
And Hitting girls is no longer considered to be flirting
When The only thing in your cereal box is cereal
And You only WANT clothes for Christmas for real
When your driving the car its no longer any fun
You always wear a hat and have to keep out of the sun
You leave foot ball matches early to beat the crowd
And you don’t like concerts because they’re just so loud
You actually buy yourself scarves, gloves, and sunscreen
And you think car insurance premiums are obscene
When being bad is no longer considered being cool
And you have friends who have kids who go to school
You saw the Star Wars movie when it first came out
Finally your parents' jokes are now funny without a doubt
