There comes a time in everyone’s life when you’re just going about your daily routine, folding and putting away your underwear or shoving old candy wrappers into your purse, and BAM— you realize you’re becoming your mother. This isn’t always necessarily a bad thing, but as we get older, and as hard as we may try to avoid the “transition,” it’s inevitable — you will one day morph into your mom. First comes realization, then denial, then questioning/concern, then acceptance. If you exhibit any of the following behaviors, I regret to inform you that you’re already on your way to ugly full-coverage bras and cringing at vulgar Beyoncé lyrics.
1. You started shoving crumpled tissues up the sleeve of your shirt, just in case someone may need it.
2. You find yourself scraping minimal amounts of leftovers into old butter containers because you “shouldn’t waste food.”
3. You’re actually KEEPING old butter containers.
4. You started putting loose change under the mat of your car in case of emergencies.
5. You start reminding others to “put on a sweater” before they step outside.
