well- isn't that the truth?
                                                                            
                                                                         if only we could have known in our youth
                            
                                                                        that the only real reason to envy grown ups

                                                                     is that when you're a grown up no one can

                                                                        tell you what to do. you can make a thousand
               
                                                                        mistakes trying to figure it out. all by yourself.

                                    
                                                                     why didn't anybody ever bother to tell us that
                                                                       
                                                                         being a grown up is a lot of work? and when
                                                              
                                                                         no one is telling you what to do--- it sounds
                                                                     
                                                                     all peachy, but it's just a lot of work.


                                                                         someone just tell me what to do o.k.?

                                                                         i'll do it!

      
                                                                                 *in the meantime, i'll be watching cartoons.
