an outlandish proposal I just made up
We need to bring back bullies
my reaction: The anti bullying campaign is the reason there is so much mental health. All the bullies went away and thus kids were forced to not be tough anymore. I say bring back the bullies but just keep them away from me though.
dude where’s my car
I need to be more strict on my kid. After my son and I left the grocery store he ran in the parking lot to our car and all I said was “dude… no running in the parking lot”. I can’t be calling my son dude while I’m disciplining him. Dude takes all the severity of what I’m saying and throw it out the window. No one respects someone who starts off their statement with dude. Dude doesn’t command respect. I need to call him by his first, middle, and last name to make my point across. Being a dude dad will not cut it anymore.
we all scream
My 15 year old step daughter said she was sick of ice cream. You know your life isn’t hard when you say that. Who gets sick of ice cream? It’s the greatest desert ever invented hands down. Ice cream beats brownies, cookies, doughnuts, you name it. Who has the chance to eat too much ice cream? As parents we have failed. That’s our fault. Ice cream should be for special occasions only. Your kid should never say their sick of ice cream. That’s like someone who is deeply in love saying “I can’t take love anymore. This love is too good. I’m over it.”
t n d
People have gotten a lot better at texting and driving. I saw this one lady texting and driving like she was too comfortable. I felt like she was at her own home on a sofa just enjoying herself. I don’t think she realized she was even driving. She was so into her text I’m not sure how she made it to her destination. She was in the driver’s seat laid back in the fetal position with a blanket on her drinking hot cocoa. Her car has become an extension of her living room.
dish
I remember when I was in 8th grade that I had to list my favorite things for a “get to know me” project. My favorite hobby was sports, favorite color was green, and favorite food was red beans and rice. That’s when I knew I was different. Most kids put their favorite food as pizza, nachos, or burgers. My favorite food was red beans and rice. I’m sure I’m the only kid in 8th grade to ever put that as their favorite food. Now kids favorite foods are Cheetos, Takis, and other types of junk food. My favorite dish is a meal that most people eat to just get by. It’s not a luxury or comfort food. My favorite food was functional.
clean can
I don’t like garbage in my garbage can in my bathroom. I like an empty garbage. I don’t like walking pass a garbage full of garbage. It’s not a pleasant sight to see. An empty garbage makes my bathroom seem cleaner than it is. I will get pissed when someone in my household uses my bathroom and throws away a tissue. I’ll be like “who was in here?!?!?!!”. Why are you using my garbage can? You don’t need to throw away your tissue in my garbage.” I remember someone had thrown a tampon in my garbage. I didn’t realize it was a tampon until it was in my hand. I didn’t have a good night after that.
doogie howser moment
Overall, I need to be a tougher. I’m going to beep at people texting and driving. I also need to stop the crimes that are going on in my house like people throwing garbage in my garbage. I got tampon hands. I’m going to ban ice cream, snacks, and make people in my house eat red beans and rice. Lastly, I’m going to write hand written notes to my family members to let them know of all the new rules and say “dude… read this”.
