It's still weird...

Today, the chimney sweeper dropped by. To clean our chimney after winter. When he rang the bell, I looked at his young face (I think he's about my brother's age, i.e., a little younger than I am) and thought "Ah, here's the apprentice, the master sweep's probably getting something from the car..."

But no. The second person who was still getting something from the car was even younger - that was the apprentice, and I was already talking to the master sweep.

And I thought, "Crap. We're the grown-ups now."

Which, naturally, should not surprise me. I mean, I'm going to be a mom in a couple of months. So I better be grown up! And the rest of my generation as well. We've been of age for a decade or longer!

But I have obviously not yet internalised that fact. ^^

I know those moments well.
Luckily, until now I never wished to be young(er) again.

It gets "weirder" when all famous actors, sports people and the lot are younger. But the age is in your mind!

How s hould I feel grownup when people refuse to sell me lottery tickets or alcohol and use "du" or "that girl over there" when talking about me? ;_;

To think that my mom at my age was already very busy with being... well a mom. How the hell am I supposed to explain some little thing how the world works or what to do, it's not like I myself have the slightest Idea...
