Anyone else happen to think that it's rather strange?  I always think of 'when I grow up' or 'when I get older' to refer to a little child talking about adulthood.  Not an adult talking about... later adulthood.

Sometimes I start to say "When I grow up, I..." but then I stop myself, because I remember that I'm 18.   Instead, I try to say, "Well, in the future I want to..." Yeah... exactly!  I usually correct or stop myself, lol. Prankster28 Posted at 10:05 am on July 10, 2009 Oww... u arent the one who think so... i still think so, i grow up year to year, but always thinking about it. awexome Posted at 10:03 am on July 10, 2009 I know what you mean...yeah. I have kind of stopped that way of thinking though, saying "when I get older"...because now's the time. What we do today will affect tomorrow. airemaye Posted at 10:03 am on July 10, 2009 Yeah.
