Here's an example: Mike expected to be treated like a grown up, but he didn't like paying full price at the movies; so he thought about shaving off his moustache.​

Hi, Its been a while

Explanation:

I think Mike shaved off his moustache because he realized it wasn’t that great being treated like an adult. Mike’s visit to his grandmother is the point at which he understands for the first time what it means to be an adult. It’s also the moment when he himself becomes more of an adult.

He comes to see his grandmother as a human being. He realizes that she has feelings and regrets, just like anyone else. And, like anyone else, she is flawed and makes mistakes:

You drive out in your father’s Le Mans doing seventy-five on the pike and all you’re doing is visiting an old lady in a nursing home. A duty call. And then you find out that she’s a person. She’s somebody. She’s my grandmother, all right, but she’s also herself. Like my own mother and father. They exist outside of their relationship to me. I was scared again. I wanted to get out of there.

Mike also realizes that his parents are not perfect or invincible. He wants to keep this childish sense of security he once had. I think this feeling is reflected in the questions he wants to ask his mom and dad:

I wanted to ask her—hey, Mom, you and Dad really love each other, don’t you? I mean—there’s nothing to forgive between you, is there? But I didn’t.
