Katie's thread has inspired me to wonder what constitutes a grown-up?
For me, I think my husband said it most clearly when he had the job of taking our beloved old dog for her final trip to the vet: "This is when you know you're a grown-up."
Yeah, a grown-up is someone who can be counted on to do the exceedingly difficult things that have to be done.
But by this rubric I may not qualify...and yet I'm often more "grown up" than he is. Maybe cuz' I don't get the giggles when I see boobs unexpectedly?
