I have these moments often when I go grocery shopping.
"Oooh, look at those soft, fluffy-looking buns! I’d love to have sandwiches on them… but no, we have to get the cheap bread. Those are too expensive and not as healthy besides, so — WAIT A DAMNED MINUTE! That’s my mom’s voice in my head! I’M AN ADULT NOW AND SPENDING MY OWN MONEY! Gimme those buns! Ha!
"Oh look, cakes! Those look delicious! That one there’s really fancy; I wonder what it tastes like. Shame there’s no birthday or special occasion coming up. We don’t buy cakes for no reason, after all, and — GET OUT OF MY DAMNED HEAD, MOM!!!"

That moment.
When you realize that you just became your parents.
