Peter Pan syndrome is alive and well and it seems like no one really wants to grow up these days. I therefore find it very refreshing when a man isn’t afraid to grow up and act like an adult. Think of this as a checklist for life or at the very least a jumping off point for becoming an adult.
Every adult should know:
- How to change a flat tire
- How to jump start a car
- How to tie a tie
- How to swim (i.e. not drown)
- How to iron a dress shirt or pants
- The name and location every US state on a map
- The name and location of every continent on a map
- How to hold a conversation with someone you just met
- The names of all the current Supreme Court Justices
- The names of the current President, Vice President, and Speaker of the House
- The name of the Governor of your state
- The significance of the number of stars and stripes on the US flag
- Who Harriet Tubman was
- The artist who painted the Sistine Chapel
- The artist who painted the Mona Lisa
- The name of at least one song by the Beatles
- Which entertainment genre matches up with The Emmys, The Oscars, The Grammys, and the Tonys
- What sport match up with The Super Bowl, The World Series, The Stanley Cup, and the World Cup
- How to calculate percentages (calculator allowed)
- Your blood type
- Your HIV status
- How to cook at least one full meal without looking at a recipe
- How to start a grill
- How to hang a framed picture on your wall
- How to do your own laundry
