Teenagers suck
My best friend has 2 of his 4 kids still living in the basement, both boys, one is 32, the other 35. I don't understand it for the life of me, he was on his own at 15, and his wife was on her own basically at 16. I know it drives him crazy, but she seems to think it's ok. Neither one has a job!
SMH
WTF!!?????
I had a HS classmate, lived just down the road. His name was Kenny. When he was 14, his dad bought him a Mo-Ped. At 17, the girl across the road (which he had a huge crush on), her dad had $ and bought her a new 65 Fairlane. At very afternoon, Kenny asks if he can take it down the road. She lets him, and he turns down a dirt road and rolls it! Gone all of 10 minutes!
Kenny wants his dad to buy him a car, he turns 16. Dad says no, unless you get a job after school or Sat. His dad is an insurance agent and can afford such, but the kid wants NO part pf any after school job. He bums a ride home from school every day and I get to MY after school job by 3:30 and 12 1/.2 hrs. every Sat. Pa did give me a wore out 49 Chevy the day I turned 16 which was my first day at my after school job at the A & P Grocery! But I bought my gas and horse feed, and shotgun shells.
Kenny goes to College and graduates, and he and a classmate go to the high $ burbs of Atlanta and start a local newspaper that about what is happening in high $ Alpharetta, Ga. He marries the girl that had the Fairlane, they have a fancy 2 story home in the burbs, and before long, Kenny has embesseled their co. into bankrupsy. They get a divorce. Kenny has some various white collar jobs, and always seems to get caught with his hand in the company cookie jar. Finally goes to prison,. a time or two.
About age 50, dead broke, he comes back to our home town and moves in with wealthy local that felt sorry for him. Another classmate gives Kenny a job, and informs him IF he steals from him, he won't go to jail, he would simply kill him. Kenny (and I) believed him.
I saw Kenny's brother one day, a leading citizen of the county, when I was back home visiting family. I asked him about Kenny. He simply stated, matter of factly, and I quote " I have NO brother".
About a year later, I heard Kenny had "passed away." He was maybe 50.
