Parent Logic

Me: hey, so, I’m going to college across the state. About 9 hours away. And I'm going to get my own apartment. Just me, my cat, and a roommate. Whaddya think?

Parents: what a great idea, such a good learning experience, it’ll do wonders for your independence.

Me (later that week): so my sister wants me to dog sit at her house (15 minutes away) for a week. I’d sleep over and chill out there. That cool with you guys?

Parents: absolutely not. You’re not aware enough, you should wait until you’re 18 (in less than 8 months). We’d feel better if you were older. And a week. Shouldn’t your sister ease you into it??? Maybe start with two days.

Me (thinks): how the hell does this make sense to you guys.

"Doctors often recommend yoga to people over 50 because it can help lower blood pressure, ease pain and improve balance. But people stick with the ancient practice because they find it improves their mood, reduces stress and, simply put, makes them happier."
