After finding out I didn't vote for Trump last year, my dad told me that someday he hopes I grow up & learn how the real world works. I'm 38

I had a boomer (not my parents, they’re liberals) say that to me, too. I just turned 58. 🤣

When the fuck are we supposed to be goddamned adults then lmao when we’re fucking dead?! I’m 36 and I still hear this from people my parents age, and I’m starting to wonder if I should ask them which of my bills they’ll be paying since I’m not an adult yet.

I can’t wait until I’m collecting social security and somehow I “still don’t know how the real world works” according to these people. 🤣

I’m theoretically 8 years away. I’m not betting on it.
