Re: The Rant and Ramble Thread
To Guardians: Look, I get it, I know why you're coming up to visit. You want to catch me in something. Well, good for you. What exactly do you expect to find? Do you think I have wild drunken parties? I don't sorry. Do you think I drink and you're going to find my alcohol stash? I drink. I'm going to be 21 in like 3 weeks, so you can't really stop me from drinking for long. Do you expect to find me living destitute and impovershed in the house that I trashed? My house is still looking good, and I'm still living well. I know you well enough to know that you're trying to catch me in something... good luck with that. If you wanted to know if I was doing something or suspected that I was doing something you wouldn't like, why wouldn't you just ask me? You should know me well enough by now to know that I'm not going to lie to you about it. Do you think I have more animals than the dog? I have a ferret... want to make me get rid of him? Try asking... I won't, but you can try. You act like I'm incapable of being a mature and responsible adult, but I think I proved that while I was raising your kids and still in high school. I think I proved that all the times I cleaned your house, fed your children, did your yard work, taught your kids to read, do mathmatics, good study skills, or did your Christmas shopping, don't you think? I pay my bills on time, I eat at least one square meal a day, I clean up after myself, I clean up after my dog, I don't see why you think I'm so incapable. I have a beautiful home, a beautiful life, and I'm completely capable and happy to keep it as nice for as long as I live here.
What do you think? Do you think I'm running a Meth Lab out of the basement? I'm not. Sorry to dissipoint. I really don't think that you're going to find what you're looking for. It would be easier for both of us if you would just sit me down and tell me what it is that you want to find. Then I can tell you if it's here or not, not that you'd believe me. And why is it that you want to catch me? The good one? What about William? or Hannah? She smokes pot you know. Why not monitor the kid who smokes pot? Seems like she'd be a good candidate for, uh, such distrust.
I'm growing wary of always feeling like you expect me to have some deep dark secret. I don't. The reason why you've never found any, and I mean ANY thing to peanalize me for is because I don't do what "most kids do when they're 20." I don't have anything to hide so stop looking. It really hurts my feelings that after raising your kids for 7 years for you you won't trust me. I mean, the two that actually ever listened to me turned out to be pretty good kids, didn't they? So why don't you just trust me? Don't you realize that it hurts my feelings? I don't have a mommy and a daddy to love me or stick up for me... so when you won't trust me, and you make it so obvious that you don't, and it's so unwarranted, well that just sucks.
Okay?
Okay.
