parents

A lemonade stand. usually kids between the ages of 4-10 do these. what does this mean? does it mean that they recognise that it is important to have money? that they want to be a working class person like their parents (hopefully)? do they just want to have fun?

i think that they want to have a job, be productive, make money, be a grown up, all without knowing it. no 4-10 year old can see the reasons for why they would do this because to them, they just want to have fun and be like their parents, but they dont know what about their parents they want to be like.

did i get lucky or what?! its suprising, appaling, sometimes outrageous, but it shouldnt be. i know, i have known that i grew up with easy going parents. i was never introduced to the extremes that some parents take it. sneaking out. my parents arent HAPPY i do it, but they dont get really mad. now some parents would flip a bitch. they would have a coniption. why? see, i know the reason for that but come on, loosen up a little bit. thats how i am anyhow. he has a lip ring, you cant date him! why? because i have a lip ring doesnt mean anything, your just trying to protect her from something that you dont understand. keep your door open. why? im sleeping, i can have my privacy right? i am a big kid right? i am 16 right? what are you worried im going to do? masterbate? who fucking cares, im sure you did it when you were my age, stfu. mom, can i go with them on their trip? is there a parent going?! how old are they? who are they?! who else is going? do they smoke? are you going to smoke? i need to give them your medical card just incase! i dont want you doing anything. o, that boy is going! nope cant go, i think he might have gotten suspended one time, hes a bad influence. GO TO BED! ITS 7 30! (man have i heard that one alot) please 15 more minutes? no, its a weeknight (during the summer)!

come on, really parents? why are you so uptight? you wonder why you dont have a good relationship with your kids? im not saying i turned out perfect because i most certainly did not, but i would say that the relationship with my parents is much better than that of your relationship with your kids. now i hope anyone that is reading this is not thinking this is just about their parents. it might hae a part from your parents but it is not about them what so ever.

i just wish parents, accross the board, were more leinant, relaxed, caring, but carefree.
