Yesterday we meet up with some people we know and they have a daughter who will be 18 in a few months. So, she hung out with my girls we went to the beach and played around, weather was great.
Several times her parents keep saying I am so glad she is having fun now in a few months she will be 18 adult time to grow up. WHAT? I looked at both of them finally and said what do you mean by that.
They said well when she turns 18 she is adult. Yes I agree with that. So, where does it say you can't have fun after that. They then both said Oldest Wolf Daughter acts to young for her age. I said what do you mean she said well she is 19 jumping in the ocean waves and laughing not acting like adult.
Ok I am still lost. Where does it say when you hit the magic number of 18 you can't laugh have fun anymore. No no don't think so. Life is to short I told them both. There is time to be serious and time to have fun. Right now Oldest Wolf daughter is on break and she is having fun. I said I am there mother and old enough to know better I have laugh, swim and jump in the waves watch me. I ran to the water and jump and played with the kids.
I came back and said come and join us they said no thank you.
I was lost when we came back home and still am. They are so serious there is very little laughing because they are adults I think I was told that 50 times yesterday.
So, next time I go out to eat and I see a table of adults and see them laughing does that me they haven't grown up yet?
Or when I go to the beach and see older people in the water does that mean they haven't grown up yet?
That's just sad. And wrong. And mind-boggling. I can't quite wrap my head around it. :-(
ReplyDeleteGood for you, though, going out and splashing and laughing!
