Wassup grown folk!
Some people say they're grown when they turn 18. Some say they're grown when they turn 21. Some people are "grown" due to circumstances. Then there are some people that are never grown, case in point, Michael Jackson!
But for real, fill in the blanks...
I knew I was grown when ________ and I was __ years old at the time!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
I knew I was grown when I had to pay money on rent and utilities and help pay for food while living in my parents house. Then my parents realized just how grown I was so they moved down south and left me in the midwest to fend for myself. I was 23 years old when it happened.
I aint fully grown yet...I still live at home! But at the same time, I'm doin so to SAVE MONEY...other than that, I pay my own tuition, my own bills, come and go as I please...I just use my parents house to come sleep at, get free food and board! So I may not be fully grown but for right now, its hella smart, considering the rest of my so called "grown" friends WISH they could move back home!
I'm just bein nosy! I aint even grown... but Im sure I will see a change when I finally figure out dat I cant spend my entire check on shopping sprees and try to live a life on my own... IM NOT READY 2 BE GROWN YET!!! I like havin my parents to fall back on cuz I'm only 16 and a senior in high school... I gotz plenty of time! So I guess in sayin that, maturity and responsibility makes u grown! (I got the mature part but I'm workin on da responsible part...) Until den I'm a young'n & proud!
My mom preaches to me almost everyday "you ain't grown"...But I think that's just to make herself feel better. I don't feel like I'm fully grown but I'm gettin there. When I became independent [after makin my own money, and doin for myself] that's when I realized I'm almost there. My mom provides for me. But not like I provide for myself.
