16 Signs You’re the Grandma of Your Friend Group

Every friend group has them: the one who’s always making dad jokes, the one who reminds you of your drunk Uncle Earl, and the one who’s just like your sweet old grandma. If you don’t know who the grandma of your friend group is, it might just be you. Do you find yourself turning down weekend plans to stay home and knit? Do your friends turn to you as a shoulder to cry on? Read on and see if you might just be the grandma among your friends. 

1. You have a scheduled bed time.

2. You probably wear nightgowns.
