random thinking...

So, been thinking about this since a couple weeks ago. It’s not exactly earth shattering so don’t get that excited. JB and Sandy were talking about the Hannah Montana concert (I think its tonight) and were saying, “you HAVE to get your kids these tickets.” And I was thinking how retarded that is. As a parent I am SOOO not going to be getting my 5 year old kid (or even 10 or 12) $100 -$1200 tickets. If they want to mow lawns or petsit and earn the money themselves than I might let them go but I so don’t think it’s a parents responsibility to buy them expensive concert tickets or Wii’s or Ipods or plasma TV’s or even cell phones. I think parents are “responsible” for providing food, water, basic clothes, shelter, and the opportunity to get a high school education. And that’s about it. Ofcourse, I will want to provide more for my kids but I don’t think I HAVE to give them everything they want. When I was a kid it was a big treat to go to McDonalds for dinner, we would get a cheeseburger and then split a large fry with the family, we might have split a coke too or maybe just water. I don’t remember the beverage thing. I do remember it being fun and a treat, but I did want a happy meal sometimes for the toy. We couldn’t get happy meals b/c of how costly they were but then my dad got a new job and we had more money and Rachel and Daniel were born and then we would sometimes go to McDonalds and we’d get a Happy Meal. That was pretty cool.

And then I heard a commercial about “oh, your dating life is non-existent… well, you just need easy braces. If you had straight teeth that would make all the difference.” Yea, whatever. I have great teeth. I am very picky about my teeth. Spent lots of money on braces to correct my teeth and keep them straight. I love my teeth. And I have a cute smile. Having straight teeth does not equal having lots of dates. Stupid commercial.

Organic peanut butter tastes like paste! I opened a jar today and tried to stir it but I made a major mess. I lost the first inch of the jar trying to stir it. It was quite disgusting looking but I figured it would taste ok. But nope. It tasted like glue. I think I better go back to my peanut butter with corn syrup in it. Oh well. Or maybe they make organic peanut butter with cane sugar in it. That would probably be ok.
