"So your saying all my friends parents are crazy???"

RED BULL AND KIDS......"GOOGLE" IT! 

 I have the most interesting and sometimes most annoying conversations with these people while driving. Remember we spend a lot of time in the car. Too much time....the kind of time that could warrant therapy. I have cried, laughed, sang, peed my pants, yelled, and thought "WTF" so many times in my car. They should have a reality show about people driving around with their kids and all the messed up stuff that goes on. I'm sure "Ellen" would watch it and show up with cash and prizes for all of us!

Anyway today Cole...aka...Drama says...."I want to drink a red bull on the last day of school". I say...."Are you crazy????" He says my most hated statement......"All my friends are drinking it, I'm the only one who can't have one". How many of you parents out there have had to hear your kids spout out the famous..."I'm the only one"??????? How many of you out there are as annoyed as me by this???? Tell me I'm not the only one!!!! It's like nails on the calk board to me! I say..."I don't care what all your friends are doing, you are not drinking a red bull on my watch". Again he complains...he tells me some of his friends play sports better because they down a red bull before the game. Then he says..."I would be a better athlete if you let me drink one". Thank you red bull! I tell him red bull is not only not good for you but it's not good for adults either. I go through all the stuff I have read about it. Like "It's the equivalent of eight cups of coffee". Can you imagine a kid on eight cups of coffee???? Makes me what to scratch my eyeballs out thinking about it. "It has no nutritional value". Neither do fruit roll ups, gold fish, juice packs, or candy but whose judging.......Oh yes, everybody! "It is not good for you". "It can cause heart problems and anxiety in people".

Of course he doesn't care because "he is the only one who can't drink one". I do call BS on that. No way everyone is letting their kids drink this garbage. He starts to argue again. I say.."I may not be the best parent, I can be lazy and give into crazy crap sometimes" "But I am not crazy enough to let you drink a red bull". He says...."So your saying all my friends parents are crazy?????".  I say..."No, Cole I'm not saying that" "What I am saying is I'm not crazy enough to want to see what you would be like on red bull". Once again he says..."So your saying all my friends parents are crazy". I get annoyed and say..."No, I'm saying that I think it is crazy to let a child drink red bull". I say..."I don't care what other parents are doing". He says again...."So your saying all my friends parents are crazy??". This is when it gets ugly. He has once again sent me over the edge with no parachute. I yell..."My opinion is that parents who give their kids red bull are not crazy, but maybe they should "google" red bull effects on kids". I tell him I'm trying really hard not to judge other parents and he is making it really hard for me". And yes he says it again..."So your saying all my friends parents are crazy". SCREAMMMMMMMM Anyone have a good therapist???????

Anywho, I saw this last picture on Facebook. It made me laugh. The first thing I thought was........"Sometimes you gotta accept the fact that certain things will never go back to how they used to be"...."Like your ass"...... I'm pretty sure I will never have an ass you can bounce a quarter off again......I'm coming to terms with that slowly!!!!!!!

I do have to say....This post is in no means trying to fault parents who have let their kids drink a red bull. I just don't want to see my kids who already bounce off the walls ping ponging like super balls off walls!
