Everybody Is Doing It

Do you remember the old phrase, "Everybody Is Doing It"? That dirty little stinker of a phrase has invaded my personal space at my home. How dare it invade my house AND it did not even knock and ask to come in.

So-N-So (took that from Vintage Thirty) got to go to a party last weekend and go riding around town. Why can't I do it? (um, first of all who are these children riding with? NO ONE has a drivers license/permit at the age of 12/13 and I'm sure the parent's aren't out cruising)

So-N-So gets to go to the movies by themselves. This means without the parent. This means that the parent did not even go to one of the other movies showing. This means that the parent did not wait in the parking lot for the movie to end. Why can't I do it? (Because, Me going with you to the movies, is the only time I get taken out to the movies even if it is with a bunch of ungrateful kids)

So-N-So is getting dropped off at the football game, I have a cell phone and could text you if you would unlock my texting. Why can't I do it? ( NO. Because my mom didn't let me go until High School by myself. That went over like a ton of bricks)

Everybody is doing it but me.

I write the word EVERYBODY on a piece of paper and I say...
"If you can make this word EVERYBODY spell Mary Margaret you can do all those things."

I turned to Taylor, handed her a piece of paper that says EVERYBODY.
"If you can make the word EVERYBODY spell Taylor, you can do all those things."

I'm thinking their life is going to pretty much suck and I am the one that made their lives SUCK.

I LOVE ME.
