So (my friends always said the funniest stories started with "so"), my 10-year-old cousin got Guitar Hero World Tour for Christmas. I tried it once and quickly became addicted. Now, I take every chance I get to go over and
Aunt: I'll be back in a little. I'm going to see Gram and Pap.
Cousin: You're leaving us here by ourselves?!?!?
Aunt: Well, your dad's here!
*pause*
Aunt: And you know, Megan's a grown up!
Me: Surprise!
Guess my secret's out, though I am, apparently, "too fun to be a grown up." Being a grown-up is way over-rated anyway, no?
Oh my, that's funny.
ReplyDeleteBut, speaking as an aunt of two very grown up nieces...
I sometimes forget they are grown up. Wishful thinking? Maybe.

LOL...we do forget that we're grown up sometimes, don't we? Especially when playing Guitar Hero! I freaking love that game :p
ReplyDelete> (my friends always said the funniest stories started with "so")
ReplyDeleteI always thought the best stories started with, "You see, I have this friend..."
This is still a great story. Being a grown-up is overrated.
"Too fun to be a grown-up" ... that would look great on a t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny story. :-) My husband loves Rock Band. When his brother was visiting, the two stayed up all night playing.
ReplyDeleteCJ - I think everybody could use an aunt that forgets that they're grown up on occasion. It lets us grown-up nieces be kids again for a little! =D BTW - if you're actually reading this - thanks for the award, I'll be by to collect and spread the appreciation sometime in the nearish future!
ReplyDeleteChris - I love it, too! A little too much! I mean, I think about it often when I'm not playing... I hear songs on the radio and think "oh, I wish I could play this on Guitar Hero!" LOL!
Lisa - Though I'm a big fan of the "So," there are definitely some good stories that follow that one, too!
Dawn - That *would* make a good t-shirt! Let's go in on it together and make buckets of money so I can give up my job and read full time, mmmmkay? ;-)
LF - The time just flies by when you're playing these games! I can totally imagine staying up half the night playing Guitar Hero. Actually, I spent an unintentionally long time playing the second time I went to play with my cousin. I went at 3 in the afternoon and before I knew it, I looked at the clock and it was *8* at night! Crazy!
Megan -
ReplyDeleteYes, I actually read comments on my comments the 'nearish future' is plenty good enough for me.

I think that's fabulous! Stay "a kid" as long as you can.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!!
