Turning Into Your Mother

You can't keep up with gadgets anymore

You have no idea which was the latest phone that was released because you are still happy with your old phone.

Your new favourite: A Comfortable Couch and dumb TV

Earlier, the very idea that you should stay at home for the weekend might have seemed absurd. But suddenly, lazing on a comfortable couch and watching dumb TV serials seems like a good way to unwind.

You just spied on your kid

Remember how mom eavesdropped on your telephone conversations from behind closed doors? Congratulations, now you know how it feels to be on the other side of the door.

You carry more medicines than makeup in your purse

There was a time when you had lip gloss, eye liner, various combs and perfumes in your bag. Now you need a larger bag but it is full of headache pills, digestive enzymes and sleeping pills!

You stopped wearing heels without knowing

When you are getting older, comfort starts mattering more than style. So the glamorous high heels don't appeal to you anymore. They hurt your feet and purse too much.

You sympathize with parents in movies

When you watched the teenage trauma movies, you usually sympathized with the unhappy teens trying to break-free from tyrannous parents. Now the hapless parents seem like victims to you.

You love dress robes for comfort

Your mother's dress robes may have seemed like a sack to you. But now you love them for comfort. Finally, dress robes are more comfy than hot pants and pyjamas for you. And if you have rollers in your hair, you are definitely turning into your mother.

You keep telling others to drive safely

Remember how your mother kept telling you to drive safely several times a day. Now, you keep telling your husband and friends to do the same! Blame it on the genes.

So do you thing you are slowly turning into your mother?
