Something I have recently thought of and now identify myself as is something called a 20-Something Grandma. It means that you're really a grandmother trapped in a 20-something body. Here are some of the qualities that I've seen in myself and other people that make them identify as a 20-something grandmother

15) Watching HGTV and/or the Food Network

Not to mention watching Clash of the Grandmas and finding it hysterical!

14) Your entire body aches after a long day

Whether you work or have sat around all day, you still find those aches and pains at the end of the day.

13) You still listen to music from "your decade"

For me, I grew up in the 90s, so I always find myself listening to music from the 90s and saying that they don't make music like this anymore.

12) You constantly use slang that's not cool

I used "cool beans" one time and everyone looked at me funny.

11) Your loved ones always complain because you're the party pooper who wants to go to bed at 10

Craig tends to get the most angry at me for this. He lives such a nocturnal lifestyle that I do not, I like to be in bed at 10:30 at least and be up at 7.

10) You go way out for the holidays

Whether it's through decorations or presents, the holiday season brings out the best and worst in you. Craig's grandmother is the kind of grandmother that gives her grandkids goody bags for every holiday. She's the grandmother that I aspire to be when I grow up.

9) You get freaked out by every little thing on the road

OR even not on the road, that's definitely me. I have an irrational fear that something is going to jump out of me while I'm driving, whether that be a deer or a human being

8) You love to bake

This one is not me, but I can definitely see it in my other friends who identify as 20-something grandmas.

7) You got excited about getting compression stockings for Christmas

My ankles swell so much, especially after a full night at my second job, my sister got me compression stockings for Christmas, and I was so excited.

6) You always make sure that your loved ones have everything they need whether its food or shampoo.

I took a gift inventory, and my gift was hospitality. It does make sense because I love to host people and make sure they have everything they need.

5) Collecting animals, whether real animals or made of glass.

I'm not the kind to collect glass animals or anything, but I've seen this in other people do it, and it is such a grandma thing to do

4) You have all the love in your heart for everyone,but no one denies your old lady temper

It has been said that I'm nice and compassionate, which is nice.But I can get mad and tell people to get off my lawn.

3) You rant about "kids these days."

Kids these days, with their iPhones instead of portable CD players and Kindles instead of paperback books. I could go on and on.

2) Crocheting is the best way to pass the time

I personally don't crochet. Someone tried to teach me, and I had no patience to learn it.

1) You wouldn't want to live your life any other way.

I take no shame in being a 20-something grandma. I make fun of myself often, but I wouldn't have it any other way. These qualities I have now will only transition me to adulthood and then grandmotherhood.
