Parents have to do everything. EVERYTHING.

They have to do things like lie. But then they also have to tell the truth.

They were the ones that told you that you shouldn't swallow watermelon seeds, otherwise you'll grow watermelons in your stomach. They were the ones that promised you "we'll come back next time" and never did. They told you that if you didn't have a shower, no one would talk to you, and they also told you things like babies come from stalks or fairies.

These were all lies. Out of conveinience or protection, either of them still don't justify the hypocrisy of the way they always told you "you should never lie"and then do it right behind your back. Kind of makes you feel taken advantage of doesn't it? Even makes you feel stupid sometimes, after learning all the REAL truths in high school, you wonder if your parents really thought you were that stupid to believe babies came from stalks.

But on the other hand, and like i said before - parents have to do everything. They do stop telling lies at a point, but sometimes you wish they didn't have to. But every parent and child knows - a parent has to do everything. They have to tell the damning lies of supression, but they also have to tell you the harsh truths.

Things like why Lucky, your golden retreiver wasn't going to be comming back from the vet, or why grandma is lying so still. They probably have to tell the thruths to themselves too, guess it sort of helps when they tell their kids , lil things have a knack for brining things into perspective.

"I'm sorry jake, we can't go to wonderland this year because.. We can't afford it right now.. *sobs*"
"Thats ok mom.. I'd can just spend time with you at home"

sob sob sob.

Yes - Your parents do everything. They lie, and tell the truth. They make you sad, and mad. Cry and laugh - they can make you have the best, and worst days, sometimes turning the best day of your life into the worst, but they can also turn the worst days into the best.

So then why be a parent? Doesn't your job cancel itself out? Ahahaha... its like a policeman that goes around bashing people.

Parents.. ahahaa
