Mommies

So today I saw this girl that was from my Math "study hall" last semester. I don't know her name or anything, but I would always recall this one conversation she had with another person during that class.

Long story short, her mother wanted her to go back home for Thanksgiving weekend. She didn't want to for whatever reason, so her mom tried ways to convince her. In the end, it worked because according to her (and I quote) "The only reason I'm going back is because she offered to shop with me."

Wow.

I think it's pretty depressing to have children and end up letting them treat you like that... Exactly what went wrong? I can't help but think that this is going to be a circular tragedy. One day, this girl will probably experience the same thing that she did to her mother - and then she will realize what she had done, but it'll be all too late.

So, all of you kids out there, really think about what you're doing to your parents (and who else might see your actions towards them).
