No one says I have to grow up “all the way”

Children beware:  Someday you HAVE to grow up.

  But no one’s saying how FAR you have to grow up.  lol.

  Sweetiegirlz knows nothing about social security, buying a house, pensions, 401K or any of that other crap that regular grown ups know. 

 I have in fact adopted a great indifferent attitude about all that complicated stuff.  I simply don’t care about anything that affects me that may be bigger than myself.  

 You know God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change? You know that prayer too?  Yep,  We may all need that when we hit 65. 

  Little children.  be happy.  Your only worry this week is whether you have glue sticks for school starting soon. 

 Or if you’ll be in the same period as your best friend. 

 Or if you have a jonas brother’s matching pencil case and folder. 

Your grandmother is currently worried about getting medical insurance to pay for anything she needs in the near future. Or if her and granddad will take a 40,000 hit on a house that can’t sell.  Or how long it’ll be before the government cant shell out social security benefits anymore. 

 

 *this cartoon is NOT mine!  I’ve drawn stick man cartoons for this blog but this is not one of them. Thanks.

 School Supplies for 2 children: = $OMG ! is this check gonna clear?  

 They’re so excited separating their little booty of paper products and no.2 pencils and paints, and tissues and bottles of anti-septic and..

.(bottles of antiseptic?  jumbo boxes of tissues? ummm…) 

when WE

 *read old people* children, went to school,  we didn’t have any of that crap to buy. 

 We went to school and washed our hands, and I’m not sure but we might’ve used the same pencil all year. 

  Teachers these days…blackmailing parents of little children.  Are school budgets that tight that 20 children have to bring in 20    8 ounce bottles of antiseptic hand gel?  gah!!!   

 Anyway,  the “A’s” brought their junk upstairs and co-ordinated it, carefully counting down the days to school starting.   I just love it. 

They are soooo excited then WHAM!!  around 48 hours after school starts they realize that it’s just the SOS in a different grade with different teachers. lol

Again, so glad I’m grown, or at least pretending to be grown.
