Turn it up to 11

When did I become my parents?

At what time did I start turning into them? When, when?

I distinctly remember when I was younger, saying I would never ever act like my parents. Over the last few weeks though I have noticed a disturbing trend toward the dark side. I remember looking over at the teen in the loud car with an even louder stereo and thinking it was too loud! Wait what?

Or the other day while at the store I saw a young man there with shoulder length hair that was also hanging in his eyes. My first thought was he should get a haircut. Woah, now hold on.

My dad said these same things to me, maybe not so kindly but you get the picture. How do I reverse this? How can I stop this slow slide towards being an old fogey? Will someone please save me?
