Adulthood.

Being an adult is weird.

It sneaks up on you, and pounces when you least expect it.

I have been feeling like an adult a lot lately... buying a condo didn't do it. Paying taxes doesn't do it.

My weird brushes with adulthood correspond to doing things I never saw myself doing when I was younger... like cleaning the humidifier... replacing the batteries in the smoke detector... troubleshooting the short in my Christmas lights... removing hard water deposits from the sink...

Weird.
