Kids just don't Understand...( to the tune of Parents just don't Understand)

After my daily bus stop trip( to send my daughter off), I had a quiet moment so I jumped on twitter. I get a kick out of some of the am tweets I read. So, I was twitter"duced" ( like introduced) to @bigkwabenaSharif by my sistergirl. I figured, he's a Northerner like moi and I'm sure to get some laughs. I'm telling y'all since I started following him, the laughs have been non-stop.

This am, he tweeted, "The amount of balling ima do when I'm in my forties is gonna be astonishing. LOL" I hollered. When, I think of my 40's I'm like its quickly approaching.. This dude getting ready to ball out soon. Then, he shared he started having kids when he was young.. That shattered all of my hopes and dreams. When I'm 40, my oldest will be 15 and my youngest 8. Yeah, I won't be balling out anytime soon!! LOL

Shoot, I'll still be having bday parties at Chuckie E. Cheese and places like Catch Air, because there's such a gap between my children. 15, as a girl was crazy. I was busy staying fly, & being popular! The little money I did get was used buying sneakers, getting my hair done and shopping in the Gap Outlet in Downtown Boston.

However, a 7 year old girl and boy experience things differently. When I think of my brothers, those dudes we're climbing trees, still hanging in the park, taking karate classes, playing with Ninja turtle figurines and being cops and robbers. Doesn't sound like its going to be alot of fun in my world. LOL

I'm telling you, our kids don't understand. When you're a "REAL" parent, there's NOTHING you won't do for your little people. There was a time in my life where dropping $300/400 for a handbag was nothing to me. Now, 2 kids later I have to wait til those things go on sale( and sometimes find them on clearance). I used to get my hair done weekly, now if I remember or have a free Friday AM, I'll go in. and let's not talk about tax returns( which he's tweeted about also), because although it's some extra money, Real Parents, end up finding ways to spend it on the kids( after taking care of a few things of importance).

So, while ballin out in my 40's would be nice... I'll politely wait til I'm 50. My youngest will be 18 and if he knows like I know, he'll definitely be at some University on scholarship. He won't be getting my greens anymore( I Kid, no matter how old they are, they will still be my babies)...

Signed,
I'm Ball OUT 1 day too!!!
