A thought on adulting...

"Adulting" is one of those words that I only started seeing and hearing a couple of years ago. I like it, though. It's a good and useful word. We needed a term for "the act of being and behaving like an adult", and the only other obvious choice -- adultery -- just doesn't quite do the job.
