When I grow up I want to be...

Dumb.
Of all the things there are in the world to become... fireman, nurse, fighter pilot, chef, or an actor. Most people end up choosing to be dumb. Why?
Maybe because they hear back from McDonald's faster? And to clarify I am not talking about teenagers that apply there, good for them, they're doing SOMETHING. I'm talking about the people that mooched off their parents and when they realized they were kicked outta the house because they ran their parents' pockets dry and they were 30 and THEN decided to get a job, kinda dumb.
I'm talking about the people that allow their 10 year old kids to have iPhones and facebooks, who use language I didn't even KNOW when I was 10! Seriously? When I was ten I had imagination! I played with my cousins and asked for a snack at grandma's house. I didn't get on the computer and talk smack about my "stupid boyfriend" on social media and called other kids losers for not smoking pot or drinking illegally. I knew my place, where adults said what goes and we were to obey. We become responsible for ourselves when our parents think we can handle it.
But that just leads to the other problem, parents don't care anymore :/ In fact they probably dream about how their life would be if they hadn't screwed the first guy that made them feel special. To clarify once again, this is not every teen age girl's problem, it's stereotypical. But please tell me what I'm supposed to think when I see kids with parents that don't care.
I'll admit to hate having to follow rules and to breaking them every once in awhile if not very rarely. But I always knew I was loved.
So when I grow up, I wanna be smart. I wanna be known as a good parent. I wanna be known as the girl who didn't say yes to society's expectations and became who I wanted to be all along. Myself.
This is myself... Being dumb, the good kinda dumb :)
