I can only shake my head with sadness and disgust after the email I just received.
Had dinner with a friend last night. Their 18-year-old son is going on a road trip to California [from New Mexico] with two friends,and the parents are mother hening them to DEATH about preparation, plans, etc.... It is actually hysterical and would make a great sit com.... What ever happened to getting in the car and just GOING....Like you did, or I did or any number of young people did.... they have a year’s supply of groceries,THREE cell phones, playstation, Ipod, and god knows what else, AND designated place to stay WITH RELATIVES every night for 2 WEEKS.....JESUS!!!! There was a powwow with ALL the parents last weekend where the kids had to present a WRITTEN plan, and get peppered with questions from all the folks.... How EMBARRASSING!!! FOR EVERYBODY!!!!
[insert your own screaming profanity directed at these so-called parents and their wussy children here—I can’t type any more without my blood pressure going off the charts...]
