I’m so lame I’m asking my step kids to hang out with me and getting denied.
my reaction: I don’t hang out with my friends anymore since I’ve started a family. I think it’s natural. It happens. Everyone has got their own plans. I’ve resorted to asking my teen step daughters to hang out and I’ve gotten denied. I’ve asked them to go the farmers market, play basketball at the Y, and go to the store. They have better things to do like be on social media. I guess I can’t compete with Tik Tok dances and “challenges”.
troubled son
I don’t understand the single guy in a movie who falls for a divorced mom who has a troubled teenage son. You know the teen who always has a attitude that won’t give her mom’s new boyfriend a chance because his real dad is a deadbeat or dead. I wouldn’t be able to involve myself in that situation. Sorry, I don’t have the energy to love a troubled teen who dislikes every kind thing I do for him. Who will never give me a chance no matter how nice I am to him and his mother. Sorry troubled teen you just ruined your moms chance at happiness. Also, I hope you end up in jail.
drop top
I see a lot of people in drop tops because it’s summer. I feel uncomfortable in a drop top. I feel naked. I don’t like all that attention on me. Anytime you see someone in a convertible you stare at them and judge them. You size them up and think “Do they really belong in a convertible? Are they good looking enough?”. I guess I’m scared of being too ugly for a drop top. I know if I get a haircut, dye me grays, and wear sunglasses I can fool some people into thinking I’m decent enough for a convertible. In the end, I just want to drive a car with a roof on it.
social media buffet
They say social media causes teen depression. I disagree. I think they are on it too much. You give unlimited access to anything a kid shouldn’t have access to and bad things will happen. Parents aren’t regulating it like they should. That’s too much freedom for kids. Imagine having a old country buffet in your kitchen and giving your kid the choice and freedom to that buffet. Do you think they are touching the salad bar? No. They are going nowhere the vegetables. They are headed straight to the soft serve ice cream machine with all the toppings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Your kid will end up looking like Sloth from The Goonies.
first ambulance
My son and I went to the library and we got a book on ambulances. We found out that the first ambulance was a wagon pulled by horse. Probably the most ineffective ambulance ever. You might as well not even send one if that was your best idea for a ambulance. Honestly, just take whoever you had to pick up for an emergency to the cemetery. Have the funeral right then and there. There’s no way Old Man Rupert is getting urgent care.
enjoy it
When you have a new baby people well say, “enjoy it while you can.” Nope not me. I just turned 40. I want it to go fast. I passed the age of enjoying it while I can. That’s a young parents game. You can’t enjoy having a baby when you’re supposed to be in a mid life crisis. I’m supposed to be nesting in a few years. My kids should be in middle school not just being born.
doogie howser moment
Enjoy it while you can be used for anything in life not just in reference to babies. If you have the luxury of riding in a convertible then it enjoy while you can. Enjoy the fact that we have fast ambulances. Enjoy social media and don’t get depressed about it. If a divorced woman with a troubled teen likes you, go for it, it always works out in the movies.
