Guilt Trippin'

So, I found this list through a friend. "25 Reasons Your Childhood Self Hates You" As if we couldn't find enough things to feel guilty about. The only thing that was wrong was that I was having a hard time agreeing on all points. Does that mean I'm still a child? You be the judge.

1} You like going to bed early

My response: Nope. Still a night owl.

2} You could buy the best Nerf Gun on the market right now and you don't

Even better. I can buy real guns!

3} You enjoy a day at the museum

Sorry, I enjoyed the museum as a kid, too.

4} You have made no effort to go to Disney World

True

5}You can't remember the last time you played any version of tag

Yes, I can. Phone tag with the repairman.

6} You are getting out of shape

Nope. In fact, the hubby & I are doing a super muscle building program this summer. We'll be ripped in a month! :P

7} You have spent money on a tie and dress shoes

Yes...but grown up shoes & dresses are so much more fun! (i think this list was written by Calvin & Hobbes)

8} You go through the check out line and don't buy candy

I buy candy for my kids! Sometimes.

9} You eat your vegetables and you like it

Well, that's a stupid statement. I ate vegetables as a kid. We ate bell pepper slices and V8 as road trip "treats".

10} You listen to NPR

Yeah, I do. My kid self would be bored & disappointed.

11} You haven't talked to your grade school BFF in years

And I probably won't for many more years.

12} You don't have a hit single and you aren't touring the world in luxury

No, I don't have a hit single. I have tens of twentys of hits! On my blog .... And I am touring the world. In luxury? That's all relative, compared to what?

13} You spend most of your free time with a boyfriend/girlfriend

My childhood self would only be disappointed because it's not 'Jim' (man from snowy river), Michael J. Fox, Doogie Howser, M.D., or Patrick Swayze.

14} You smoke everyday

Not applicable. Not attractive then or now.

15} You lie

And kids don't lie?!

16} You know how to buy Popsicles and that they are extremely cheap and yet you don't

True. All I think about is the sugar. :(

17} You can stay out all night every night but choose not to

I can't even stay awake all night!

18} You didn't make sure there was a basketball court and a video game room when choosing a place to live

Um, excuse me, childhood self. Better things have been invented. I have a Wii, PS3, XBox and a flipping huge T.V. 'Nuff said.

19} You haven't played video games long into the night for quite some time

Long into the night? Refer to #17

20} You like coffee and drink it every day

Not coffee. Coke. (the cola type. :)

21} You are not the President, a professional athlete, or the King of the World

Excuse me, sassy child! I am CEO, Head Mistress & presiding authority of my domain. Need I wield more power?

22} You don't watch cartoons anymore

False. They have cartoons for adults now. Case in point, Futurama.

23} You can find enjoyment from classical music

Immune to this one. We'd play "Guess the Sonata" with Mozart, Bach & Vivaldi at our house.

24} You are an atheist

Not applicable! Who asks kid about religion?

25} You have ordered salad off a menu for dinner

Yes. But still, refer to #9.

And look, I have my own children to warp!



All in all, I think I was a normal child. Just call me Abby, Abby Normal.

I think that article was written by a non-parent who doesn't have much fun :p ! I was going to leave a long comment, instead I'll take your meme over to my blog and fill up that part of the web a little more! Great comments! #6 Good fr you!!! :) #9 - V8 juice! Wow! I always loved that stuff... with salt and pepper and tobasco. I met the wife of the man who invented it... at least that's what my aunt told me. I was just a kid and what I remember most about meeting her was that she had a parakeet who'd call you a pretty bird if you let it have a drink of your cola.

Gee ... most of those answers could have been mine!! Well, age is relative. (slight pun there)
