Adulthood

This pretty much literally happened 10 minutes ago:

Adult me: I should load and run the dishwasher tonight.
Child me: Naw, don't worry about it. You just ran it a few days ago.
Adult me: I really should - I don't have many clean dishes, and no bowls, which I could use in the morning to eat cereal.
Child me: Don't worry about it - you can buy breakfast at work.
Adult me: Yeah, but that's more expensive, plus I already have milk and cereal.
Child me: Fine, you don't have to buy breakfast, but you can just wash a bowl by hand in the morning.
Adult me: Yeah, but that's almost more work than loading the dishwasher now and then everything will be clean.
Child me: Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal. Run it tomorrow. You look tired anyway.
Adult me: This is silly. It's going to take me like 60 seconds to load and start the dishwasher. I'm just going to do it now.
Child me: You are soooo tired. Forget about it. The dishwasher doesn't even do that good a job.
[I load the dishwasher and decide to run it.]
Child me: That was ridiculous. You could have been asleep by now.
Adult me: No, it's worth it. I will be glad I did it in the morning. This is what being an adult is all about - thinking about the consequences of my actions (or inaction) and acting accordingly.
Child me: Well look at you; you're all growns up! Aren't you so mature.
Adult me: I think I did do pretty well. I resisted you and your temptations. Maybe I am growing up.
Child me: Oh yeah, you are definitely so grown up. Why don't you go blog about how adult you are.
Adult me: Fine, maybe I will!

...somehow I still feel like Child Me won...
