As soon as I heard it, I knew it had to be a set up. Who tells their seven year old that they are here illegally?
what second grader knows or thinks about such things? no second grader on the planet. that is beyond their comprehension.
heh. here is a funny story about growing up in america as an american. no, it is not going to be one of those that piss all over our country and our government for not providing for us. i guess it's a story about growing up when we didn't care about such things.
my dad worked. my mom worked. my folks provided provided for us. we were warm and happy and fed. i played with the neighborhood children (everybody had huge families) my parents only had us four.
i played with the others on my block from after school until until dusk. and then the calls would go out from the back door, "anthony!" "david!" whatever... when we heard our names, we knew it was time to go home, to eat supper with our families.
we were children, we respected adults, we did our children thing and never ever, ever! did anything that would "get us in trouble" with adults. i grew up knowing the boundaries.
i guess my point is...
when i was a child, there was shit you could do to have your particular fun, and then there was shit you could do that would piss off a normal thinking adult of society. we went out of our way to embrace the one of these things without entering into the other.
today? children seem to go out of their way to provoke reactions. and then get lawyers to back them in court.
i am glad i got to live in the world of the past. it was a wonderful and beautiful world. y'all think this new world is something special? all of your technology and whatnot?
so sad that you don't know. but how could you? whatever. dream on for your technology. its all you have, because you don't know about how sweet life was "back in the day"...
