Popping tic tacs turned into popping pills
Taking shots of pop turned in taking shots of vodka
Not wanting to go to sleep turned into insomnia
Laughing and smiling turned into crying and trauma
Playing cards turned into gambling
Stealing clothes from your sibling turned into stealing clothes from stores
Pretending to smoke candy cigarettes turned into smoking real cigarettes
Insults like butt face and loser turned into being called slut and whore
Lemonade stands turned into work
Spin the bottle turned into sex
Forever turned into for now
Monopoly money turned into paychecks
Ping pong turned into beer pong
"Let them be kids" turned into "you need to grow up"
Taking care of a baby doll turned into having a baby
Having the flu turned into hangovers and throwing up
