8PM, newborn:
Hungry, hungry, hungry, wait. Ewwww. Wet, wet, wet, WEEEEET!
8PM, 5-year-old:
Daddy’s coming to get me soon, Daddy’s coming to get me soon, YAY!!!!!
8PM, 10-year-old:
Man, I never get to stay up to watch Moonlighting!
8PM, 15-year-old:
Crap… OK, Don’t panic. J you’ve got to help me get the car out of this ditch, I CAN’T call my dad for help, he’ll kill me!
8PM, 20-year-old:
Margarita, salt, rocks. (Look confident. Use the Force. These are not the under-agers you’re looking for…)
8PM, 25-year-old:
Hrm… where are we going out to dance, and which shoes should I wear?
8PM, 30-year-old:
Hrm… what are we making for dinner, and which bottle of wine are we cracking open? By the way, you want kids when we get married, right?
8PM, 35-year-old:
Hungry, hungry, hungry, wait. Ewwww. Wet, wet, wet, WEEEEET!

Great take on the prompt! I smiled at all of them. Now I’m tempted to go back and attempt a year-by-year for myself. 8PM sure looked a lot different five years ago…

Oh please do, and then come back and add a link to it here in the comments! I had a lot of fun trying to find the really defining emotions and moments, and I bet you will, too! I’d love to see what all of your 8PMs are. 🙂
November 4, 2011 at 4:57 pm
LOL, very amusing…and very accurate!
November 6, 2011 at 10:39 am
Awesome, I’m glad I could make you laugh, thanks for the comment!
November 4, 2011 at 5:34 pm
yeah, pretty much perfect.

Thanks Lance! Does it remind you more of your kids or yourself?

Love it! Each year was great. I think I may have known that 15 year old.

Hahahahahah. I bet (random note here, my iPad just autocorrected “I bet” into “Ibex”…) you did! 😉

Spot on… I remember the choosing of shoes….
November 6, 2011 at 10:42 am
I’m glad it resonated with you! Thanks! 🙂
November 4, 2011 at 11:01 pm
Hehehe…this was a very creative take on the prompt. I loved it!
November 6, 2011 at 10:43 am
Thanks! To be honest, it was totally last-minute as it was Friday lunchtime, and I’d only just read the prompt… Inspiration out of desperation? 😉
November 5, 2011 at 8:21 am
I love your take on this! IT made me go back and think of all my 8pm’s… I’m so glad to be where I’m at now!
November 6, 2011 at 10:44 am
No kidding! While I like some of my past 8PMs, there are some I’m so happy I never have to experience again! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
November 5, 2011 at 10:17 pm
Very funny! Very cool take on the prompt.
November 6, 2011 at 10:44 am
Yay, another happy customer, thanks for the comment! 🙂

Oh, do I ever love this! So very clever and relatable and I adore the flu circle!
Great job, you!
