You're Kidding, Right?

If you are family guy fans, you may remember Peter Griffin's little segment "Grinds my Gears" where he rants about random things that really tick him off. Well I guess I'm going to do the same thing because I just ate Chick-fil-a and I feel like writing a blog.

( ^ no joke, they seriously look like this ) So...I was at the mall with my dad today and I saw this girl..about 8 or 9 years old, with a purse, sunglasses, high heels, and she was talking on a cell phone. And get this, she was by herself walking around. She was like a mini Paris Hilton or something. C'mon seriously, what 8 year old girl needs a purse for?? What's she gonna hold, monopoly money? I'm sorry little girl, but stores only accept money that are green and have the U.S presidents on em. Rainbow money won't get you very far.

Now, a cell phone I can sort of understand. Sure, for emergency purposes it's good to have one. But besides calling family and the emergency hotline, what good is it for? You gonna use it to call the little friends you have who own a cell phone. I swear when I was 8, all I really cared about was making sure the latest batman action figure was still in stock. Screw AT&T, that KB Toys had better be open. But then again I'm not a girl, so I'm not legible to say that owning a cell phone at age 8 was one of my priorities.

But the one thing that really ticks me off, is how parents let these little girls walk around the mall, by THEMSELVES. This isn't Candyland people, it's AMERICA. Times have changed. People went from selling ice cream in ice cream trucks, to abducting children in ice cream trucks. I think it's just plain stupid how people can be so careless with their children. Now, those child leashes I've seen around. Sure they look inhumane to be using on a child, but if the child is a runner, you better attach one of those things to him/her.

So the bottom line, I don't understand what it is with kids these days trying to act like adults at the age of 5. Enjoy your childhood, trust me, you'll want to treasure every moment. Nap time, play time, sleep time, eating time, watching tv and telling Swiper to stop swiping time....I'd take those choices over homework time, study time, stress out get gray hairs and become depressed time ANYTIME......*sigh* I guess times have changed, and I'm getting old.
