This is a wonderful age OP! 18 rocks. Happy birthday! Go out with your friends and have a blast. :)

I'm loving the optimism in this thread. I'm actually guessing that the parents are going to surprise OP. Fly OP somewhere tropical, where the socks, that are too small, won't be needed anyways and there are pineapples galore :-). They are clues. In a week to a month, we will be reading an FML that says, "Today, my parents are taking me on vacation to a place I've always wanted to go. I've been mad at them since my 18th birthday because they gave me a pineapple and socks that were too small. FML!"

OP was allergic to pineapple, so wouldn't going to a tropical area with lots of pineapples be harmful? (op I feel you as I'm allergic to pineapples also)

Awkward moment when the drinking age in America is 21 invalidating your comment

Somehow I don't think everyone waits until they are 21 to start drinking.

Vomit-free since '93!

Yea completely agree but I don't think it would be the parents main focus to get their kid wasted enough to be hung over the next day?

It wasn't to be taken at face value; it's just a reference made jokingly and the implications should be neglected.

Stuff the pineapple into the socks, set it alight and leave it on the doorstep.

Make sure you tell the girl you wake up to that you aren't married before she climbs out the window

Hahaha, excellent.

#8, you are an A+ human. Stay awesome.

10, 59, thanks. :D

& now can live alone under the sea like spongebob

They also ordered a snail and a spatula, but they have yet to arrive.

Yes, but I think adulthood is supposed to go better than having parents who would give you food you're allergic to for your birthday.

The pineapple is a form of telling a person that they had over stayed their welcome, without being rude and saying it to their face. The socks are from Harry Potter signaling that said child is now set free. Wake the fuck up and realize that some parents are cool as shit.
