Turning 16 and getting too Old

Man, it's about to be my birthday, and although I'm only turning 16, I've realized I'm getting too old for some aspects of the Birthday Experience. Here are a few-

1. The Inflatable Bouncy Houses. (This has varing degrees of truth because 1. I don't think I ever got one, and 2. If no one was around and there just happened to be a bouncy house, I would re-enact the moon landing.)

2. The Birthday Cards with Cash. ( I didn't know you could outgrow this, but apparently you can because my 16th Birthday card came early this year and that's exactly what it was- a card. Just a card. Am I the terrible person for speaking this or do other people feel this way?)

3. The Classic Playdate/Slumber Party/Birthday Party. ( You know this one. It's when you invited over like 6 friends via Birthday Invitation. You know your parents were miserable and hated like half of them. You guys watched movies. Girls painted nails. Boys... yea, I don't know what boys did. Birthday cake with everyone singing and your parents ALWAYS ordered pizza for dinner.)

4. The Getting to be Friggin-Super-Christmas-Just-for-Me-Excited. ( Yep. Back when everyone in your family heard the countdown every day for two weeks before hand. When you had the list of what you wanted because everyone asked you. Now please keep your cool and be nonchalant. The day of, when wished a happy birthday, act almost surprised, like you could've forgot. "Oh, it's my birthday today isn't it? Well thank-you!"

Eh, you win some and you lose some. Either way, I'm excited.
