Listen. You’re turning into your parents. Or your aunts/uncles. You’re turning into the old farts you grew up with. And that’s ok. It’s inevitable. We need to learn to face it, like with tweets such as these:
Hey 25+ Twitter. What ‘auntie/uncle tendencies’ do you have now that you’re old? 🤔

This evolution is natural. Beautiful in a way. Let’s examine it with grace and dignity, two things that Twitter is definitely known for.
10. Freaking out about power consumption
I can’t tell you how eye opening it was to realize that the stuff my dad would freak out about like it was gonna bankrupt him was probably a difference of like $10/month.

9. The folded stare
All you gotta do is let yourself drift into another dimension.
It’s the solitude and silence for me!

8. The hips don’t lie
They are truth and they are here to support you, literally.

7. Being the drunk one
This is a little bit me, though not really in front of the kids.
…but of course 🤣

6. Obtaining the gold standard
You deserve it, you’ve made it this far.
This is top notch right here 🤣

5. Become the tool man
What if I suddenly know how to build a deck and subsequently feel like building a deck?

4. Nap time
Can you BELIEVE we used to fight AGAINST this?
I have to force myself not to nap between meetings

3. The warm up technique
It’s the little things you learn to master.

2. Quiet time
It’s all the time, baby.

1. Making the list
That’s it, that’s what getting older is in a nutshell.
That and suddenly getting interested in crime stories.
Oh you’re good.

Don’t fight it. Just become what you’ve always been on the inside.
How are you turning into your elders?
