As I was driving up on my house last night I saw a kid standing up by my garage door and wondered what he was doing? Then it dawned on me, he's urinating! I thought "Surely, this isn't what he is doing" and continued driving up. I rolled my window down and asked what he was doing and got a prompt "I don't know what he's doing" from one of the boys. I've got a temper on me when it comes to right and wrong and blatant wrong, I'll admit that. I proceeded to feel the steam blowing out of my ears and got out of my car. I absolutely lost my mind on this kid and his lack of respect for other people's property. I didn't back down from him and kept yelling. He was walking backwards and I think knew he was about to get pounced if he didn't get away quickly. My kids get mad at me when I voice my opinion to other kids but dad gum it, that's part of the problems with the kids today! NO ONE is telling them when they are doing wrong, and because of that, they have NO respect! Well, people, I'm not going to sit back and let it happen! My kids will understand one day that their Mom stood up for right, and vehemently hated wrong period!
I've stood up for what's right my entire life. I can remember being a little girl and I became friends with a girl that was disabled. I remember getting picked on because I was friends with her but you know what? I bet money that she still remembers someone that was nice to her, and it was me! It's a good feeling and it makes me think of that movie "To save a life" again. It should be a national anthem for our country! It's a fantastic movie! I know I've talked about it before but I'm serious! This country needs a swift kick in the arse!
If you haven't seen it, SEE IT! If you've got teenagers, MAKE THEM SEE IT!
I'm going to get off my soapbox now. I'm still so fired up by it all. I hope that everyone has a wonderful day today and make it a good one! Do something good for someone, buy the next person in line's coffee, pay for someone's gas, just do it! You'll be glad you did!
