Mom. You gotta love her, right? She's been there for you just about every step of the way. Naturally, you'd expect her to rub off on you. For years, we all deny that we are even remotely similar to our mothers-- what teenager wants to admit that? Now, however, it is one of the greatest compliments. Here are some signs that you're slowly but surely turning into your mom, and loving it:
1. When another car is riding you, and you think to yourself, "Well, I'll just hit the brakes and slow down."
See how they like that. Yeah, that's right, punk.
2. Coupons are your best friends.
There's just nothing as exhilarating as a good deal.
3. You're in your pajamas by 8 p.m. at the latest.
You've also been in your PJs by 5 p.m-- no shame.
4. You've started taking (advantage of) free things, including napkins and the sugar packets from restaurants.
If it's for free, it's for me! Also, Tupperware is handy for storage purposes. And it's not stealing. I mean, we paid to eat there!
5. When your friends leave, you tell them to text you that they got home safely.
And you mean it, too.
6. You hear phrases coming out of your mouth that your mom says every day.
You truly can't help it. They just slip out.
7. You find it absolutely necessary to put out snacks when people come over.
I mean, it would just be flat-out rude not to.
8. An ideal evening includes watching "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune."
Some quality programming to keep the mind sharp. Gotta love Pat and Vanna.
9. You always take home your leftovers when you go out to eat, even when it's only a couple bites.
10. You and your mom have started sharing "the look."
Zero words necessary.
11. Comfort and practicality is better than style.
Pockets are a bonus.
12. Leaving a voicemail doesn't seem so silly anymore.
Geez, sometimes it's nice to actually hear someone's voice, for Pete's sake.
13. You've actually said, "Kids, these days."
They're always on "The Facebook."
14. You watch football and think, "He needs a haircut!"
Come on, boys. How about a fresh cut and shave?
15. It's getting harder and harder to sleep in past 8 a.m.

You may even be turning into the rare morning person.
16. You take your vitamins.
They may still be the gummy vitamins in the shape of your favorite Disney characters, but hey. Baby steps.
17. Certain song lyrics appall you.

18. You find that cleaning can be somewhat relaxing.
You won't be judging me when our apartment is spotless.
19. You agree on a lot of things.
Her shirt is way too low-cut. And that young man needs to pull up his pants! Doesn't he own a belt??
20. You pay with exact change.
And it feels so darn good every single time.
21. You always bring a jacket with you, just in case.
I mean, come on. Even Beyoncé wears one.
