I have lived almost 3 decades now! Can't believe it, but it is the truth!
I still remember the little things that made the first 2 decades at Mom & Dad's memorable! I vividly remember the annoying wake up calls, the mandatory breakfasts, the ride to school, the revulsive veggie-lunch, the inescapable tests, the ensuing grades and its gruesome aftermath. I remember the curfews, the constant violation and the never-ending retribution. I also remember dreaming of a life far away from home with no rules and ceaseless fun!
But here I am far far away from home, waking up early, making my own breakfast, driving 20 miles to work, working my hind side off, enjoying salad for lunch and back to bed on time. How Ironic? A life of rules, conjured by ME!!!
Is it a life of ceaseless fun? Not even close! Is this the life I dreamt off in my teenage years? No Way! But I know one thing for sure, it does'nt get better than this and I hope I can say the same in 10 years!
Three Decades! Decadent or Decorated? Neither, just Delightfully Dramatic!

Anna its so true.
I too wonder sometimes about this irony. But guess thats just the way God has designed it.
So lets praise Him.
nice for parents to see things from a teen's perspective...specially when itis so brillianly portrayed...a real eye-opener for us
But please dream on, son, there is so much to do,so much to achieve..for the sake of your loved ones and for the sake of THE ONE WHO LOVED US....and the path wil surely be strewn with happiness, joy and satisfaction
