Parents, they can be great, or simply horrible. It seems to me as of late that the ones who are super-church happy, can be the meanest individules I have ever seen. By now we all know who I'm talking about. I was over at his house last night, had a good time, until we tried to see if we could go to the mall.

His parents started pulling out crap that made NO sense what so ever to try to nail on him, some of it on the both of us. The whole thing was just a bad case of misphrasing and bad planning on our part. It was a sleep-over, so we were up pretty late, we got thirsty, so we went upstairs to get something to drink, no big deal right? HA! The next morning we get accused of sneaking out of the house. We know his parents could be more than a bit GRR at times, and personally, it looked like the hood outside, so we were like, "I ain't going out there!"

Here's something that I personally loved: his mom brings up something about a phone call that my friend had with his girlfriend on halloween night. Acording to her, Jacob was mocking his father, and when he asked her if it was okay that his dad walked around with us, she reponded with," Oh please no." Then again, this last statement might be true, it seems like her. But that's not the point! First off: who listens to ALL their kid's phone calls? Total breech in the ounce of privacy we are allowed this day and age. Second of all, my friend couldn't remember jack about said phone call, because none of that crap she was saying that he did never happened! Finally: Amy's remark. If it did actually happen, the more likely than not it was probablly just that she was nervous about meeting his parents, since she know they weren't exactly crazy about her going out with him.

Sounds just great right? I couldn't believe what I was hearing, how could you treat your own child like a freaking terrorist? I was pissed off. I was really messed up, to hear that some one who's like a brother I've always wanted have to go through crap like this everyday. My mom picked me up, I felt like s**t knowing I had to leave him there. I got into the car, and started crying. I haven't cried like that in over a year. It was really bad. I was supposed to meet up with my girlfriend and his girlfriend. I got to the mall, and I just wouldn't have been able to do it. I went home a mess, took a hot shower and feel asleep to wake up with a headache from heck. One day I'm going to get him out of there. He can move in with me.

Parents, can live with them, or can't stand them. Think to yourself, what are my parents really like? I've had a good thought about mine, and I wouldn't change a damn thing.
