You Know You've Matured When....

Just this past weekend my husband and I went to Santa Barbara with my parents and sister for the annual fiesta days. At one point, my husband and I went on our own to walk around the downtown area and check out the nightlife. Being the college town that it is, there were so many young 20-somethings out and about that the older folks really stood out like sore thumbs. At one point, my husband and I wanted to get a drink at a bar and people watch. We walked by so many bars looking for a place that wasn't so crowded and so young looking. We finally spotted a bar and went in. We must've been about the oldest people there, although I think one couldn't tell. What was amazing was the behavior of the crowd. Girls dressed in the skimpiest of attire and putting on the "I'm so hot and drunk and I'll do anything" attitude while the boys sitting in packs and on the prowl for their catch of the night. We watched the crowd, laughed at people's behavior, and discussed what it would be like to be single again and coming into such an atmosphere. Where once a long time ago, I would have jumped at the opportunity to go "clubbing" in such an atmosphere with such people, now I would hate to have to endure such a situation. The stares, the pick-up lines, the raunchy behavior---NO THANK YOU!!!!! I guess I have matured a bit!!!! CaptinsRio
