Adult Language

One way I can tell that I am getting  older is that I am beginning to use adult language. Now, when I say adult language I don’t mean it in the Hollywood sense like using words that would get Dial soap shoved down my diaphragm. Nor do I mean I have started to use words like Periphrasis, which  to me sounds like the name of the Greek god of Paraphrasing and that theory provides enough evidence as to why that word has yet to be incorporated into one of my unabridged anecdotes.  I just find myself saying things that I never thought I would say. I went to look at a house with a friend over the weekend and out loud and excitedly I said “Are those granite countertops!” What the heck is wrong with me?! (Rhetorical question, please do not answer) 😕
