Growing Up VS Grown Up

I remember being young and thinking that I had so many problems. How it sucked big time to be a kid. I could not go outside and play when I wanted to. I had to always ask my mother for money to buy an ice cream sandwich. And what was up with her not having any money? I always asked “How do you have a job and you ain’t never got no money?” Me and my sister used to be like “mommy lying, she got money.” LOL… I remember being young and bothered because I had to get up and go to school every day. Had to do homework and chores. I couldn’t understand why did my mother expect me to do all of these things and she knew that I had homework to do. It just seemed so unfair to me. I remember being a child and not being able to talk on the phone to my friends. Back then there wasn’t unlimited calling. You had to pay per minute, so my mother was always like “stop running up my damn phone bill.” I had no idea about bills back then…. But NOW!!! Sometimes I wish that doing homework was the least of my worries. I love being an adult and I love working but I have to admit that there are those rare days when I wish I can go back to being a kid again. I now know what it’s like to have a job and not have any money. (Sorry Mommy. Lol) Sometimes I wish I had money for an ice cream sandwich after paying all my bills. Now I am grown and I have those days when I don’t want to get up and go to work every day. As children, we know so much when in reality we don’t know shit about being an adult. But adults know all too well about being a child.
