This is a new segment of the blog where I will tell you a true story, from my own life. Fun, right? I know.
So, the other night I was having dinner with my parents. It started innocently enough. ("Hey, here's a steak, have some potatoes.", etc...etc...) Then, after five or so minutes they just started yelling at me and telling me I need to get a job.
My mom told me that I have to because "everyone has to have a job."
I said "Why do I have to do what everyone is doing? If everyone jumps off a bridge, am I supposed to jump off a bridge?!".
Although I had clearly thoroughly outfoxed her using her own mom-logic, it somehow did not help my argument. You can't deal with these people. They have no ideology.

ReplyDeleteHere is a true story. A Young arab boy was having an argument with his parents about conformity, and the dad said
"If everyone else strapped a bomb to there chest and blew up the jewish market, would you do it too?"
2 days later a father looked at a greese spot on the road at the market and siad
"guess he showed me!"
Weren't you saying you needed a job?
