Cool Story, Bro!

Well...I don't like to brag, but; there was this one time when I had to fight off an elite team of bloodthirsty ninjas. All I had on me was a rubber chicken and a toothpick at the time. Within 10 minutes all the ninjas were out cold and dead on the floor.



And then the alarm clock woke me up and I had to get ready for school. Heh.

Ha, that's pretty funny. I wouldn't feel guilty about that at all. Sounds like those older kids were asking for it. You're just lucky that they didn't find out that it was you two who did it.

     That reminds me of a similar incident.......I may have told this story before......it was Dec 1980.....I had just turned 10 years old & there was this little market up the street.....right around New Year's Eve this friend of mine if you want to call him that decided it would be a good idea to steal some food without telling me.....his mom came into the store looking for him, he panicked & the food fell out from under his coat.....she beat the crap out of him right there in the store....I quietly slipped out of the store or so I thought.....got on my bike I & went home.... & sure enough my parents called me into the living room & there she was telling them all about it......I was like..."I didn't know he was going to steal stuff".......my parents response...."You were with him & are just as guilty as if you were sitting in a get-a-way car at a bank"......the verdict.....I was grounded the whole month of Jan 1981......however it probably kept me out of trouble in my teen years.....I was always told that if I got arrested they were not going to bail me out.....& guess what.....I believed them........ 

Oh, believe me, I know exactly what you are talking about. My daughter is in her teens now and the things that she has said and done over these last few years have had me wanting to pull out my hair with stress. No kidding. She has literally made me a nervous wreck more than a few times now with some of her antics. We haven't caught her having sex yet and we're constantly warning her about STDs and safe sex, but you know how kids can be. I can remember back when she was just a baby and some people would tell me that girls are harder to raise than boys are and I didn't believe them at the time. Boy was I ever wrong!

You're lucky then that you didn't get a wild one like I did. She is currently in her Goth phase now. She said to me just yesterday that she is glad that summer is finally over with because it was too hot. I told her that that's only because she constantly wears black clothing and boots and jackets. Of course that would make anyone hot. But she wants to look cool for her friends. We even bought her a couple of really nice and pretty summer dresses last spring and she wore them maybe once. The rest of the summer it was her wearing her Goth fashions. *Sigh* That's kids for ya'.

One of my nieces also went through a Goth phase in her youth and it lasted for only a few years. I don't really mind the look all that much if that's your thing, it's just that seeing someone dressed in black all of the time gets to be tedious. Throw some color in there now and then just to mix things up a little bit. I had a friend years ago who was also like that and that is all that he would ever wear too. Oh, yeah, and I can't forget to mention all of the black T shirts that my daughter owns that have skulls on them. Smh. Oh well, you've just gotta let them do their own thing.

Those Goth Girls are pretty hot though. Who really cares if they can't dance?

Awww, No... sorry to hear that Roman. I just don't know what to say? It's why I am so worried and nervous about my daughter as she grows older. She's got guys hitting on her all the time and I try my best to warn her about not getting involved with the wrong guys and I can only hope that she listens and learns from it. Hell, just the thought of her learning to drive soon is making me nervous enough. Being a parent is not an easy job at all.
