For those of you who remember the title of this post is a reference to an old Will Smith song. In it Will has lots of mishaps with his car, girls and the like and he gets busted for acting like a teenager. Well, the chorus is basically "Parents just don't understand" Well Mr. Smith or Big Willy as he is called these days.... I wonder if you are singing the same tune now that you have kids of your own??? It might be called "Children" just don't understand. It might go something like this ... you can just imagine some f-f-f-f-unky bass in your head...ahem
Up at dawn, baby's cryin'
Four yr old says
Daddy I'm not lyin'
I didn't pour milk down the toilet again
It always makes that noise, don't you remember when
That boy.....at my school ....he tripped like wham...and then a bird do you like birds Daddy..Off time for cars ...
It's not even 8 in a.m. and I feel like a a.....a.. Oh forget it ...
I had such passion for this little song post thingy....but I really don't have the brianpower right now...Seriously that little bit of imagination up above.....5 hours it took me to come up with that...And it totally stinks. I often wondered why my Dad was so "uninformed" about so many things growing up....He knew all of it just like I do now...I know why the sky is blue or what makes the trees grow...I know how water gets to the faucet... I think I can even figure out how a dvd player w0rks....I just don't have the energy to explain to a four year old 50 times....3 times max! So the old "Because I said so" or "It just works" Still sometimes lead to other follow up questions...I have now re-instated the answer that I would tell my parents when something I knew was bad but didn't want to take the blame for..."Ya know....I dunno". Now I not saying that One shouldn't give their child the most information that is possible..let's get that straight. A child's imagination and thirst for knowledge is what makes them such amazing and magical beings. However when you match that thirst with an UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF ENERGY as a parent you really have to pick you battles. I love my boys they are the most special gifts from God...Kids just don't understand how wonderful they are
