We all honestly thought we would have life figured out at 27. We figured our lives would be in order enough to only bug our moms for the random "how to take care of children" questions.
Here I am, at 27, unmarried living with a cat and really struggling with this whole adult thing. I assumed I knew it all until I moved away from my mom three years ago. I was never more wrong, as I call my mom on a daily basis to ask the dumbest things. Here are a few things that many 27-year-olds should know but still ask mom anyways.
1. Why do I have to separate my clothes? I feel like it won't change anything if I shove it all in the washer/dryer together.
2. Am I a baby? (Asked on numerous occasions especially after a few glasses of wine.)
3. Can I put this in the microwave or does it really have to be on the stove?
4. How do I cook (food item)? (Make sure to ask said question over FaceTime)
5. Do I have to follow the recipe or can I skip this step?
6. I have a sharp pain in my side, should I go to the hospital?
7. I have a pain behind my eye, am I dying?
8. Do you think this migraine is because I haven't had caffeine today?
9. Why do you never include me in plans anymore?
10. Should I get another cat?
11. Should I get a dog?
12. What is a good price for an apartment if I don't want a roommate?
13. Why do you like my siblings more than me?
14. Why do you keep saying I will make a cool aunt one day?
15. How many Advil can I take before I make myself sick and overdose?
16. You really think it's okay to take all this medicine?
17. Do you have a (clothing item) I can borrow or do I have to buy one?
18. How long do I cook (food item)?
19. Are you sure it won't turn out disgusting?
20. Is this pot/pan big enough for all this food this should be making?
21. Am I going to fail out of grad school?
22. Is grad school even a good decision?
23. I want to quit my job, can I just live off school loans until I graduate?
