Payal says that we're gonna be dead on Monday cause we jay-walked with a big bunch of people at the traffic light and some policemen happened to be on the overhead bridge with the speed trap camera. In response, I told her I'd write an article on why then parents shouldn't show us how to.
First of all, didn't the greats say that babies observe and imitate the people around them, starting from their parents? Therefore, there's a double weightage on the Mom and Dad to set a good example to the child. Our parents keep telling us to be good, to use the traffic light' the same old, same old; but how can we when our parents keep jay-walking themselves? You know what they are? They're bloody HYPOCRITES. I told me Mom that, and she totally agreed with me. Who better to set the example than our parents? It's like them swearing, and then down the road they hear us swear and ground us. My dad is a perfect example, he swears at the road but when I let a word slip, he tries to ground me. But parents will be parents, they have the upperhand as long as we're still living with them and they providing for us. THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO. Try to rebel? Fight back? What will that get you? Even more scolding and a longer grounding sentence. So why try? To prove a point? Let's face the facts. We're all waiting for the big 2-1 so that we can live our lives. Until then, we'll just GRIN AND BEAR IT.
