My generation commonly referred to adults as 'grown-ups'. I suppose it was the natural extension of the often-asked question, what are you going to be when you grow up? Or, what are you going to do when you grow up?
I am going to have kids, then I am going back to school to learn how to be a grown-up.

That's good. 'Cause I was about as interested in a second time round as I am in the first.
Well if you aren't interested in learning how to be a grown-up from strangers, what about your own mum and dad?
What dad?
Well what about your mum?
She's too busy.
Doing what?
Going to school learning how to be a grown-up
