Dear Children and Those Not Yet "Old",
Please, please, don't rush to "grow up". Don't rush to be older. Not only because we really think you're quite adorable when you're little tiny things, but also because being an adult has a whole lot of not much fun.
To quote myself "adulting sucks."
Like, sure, I can, in theory eat as much junk food as I want, but you know what? Then I get a sore tummy. So.. it's only fun for a little while. And there's some weird thing that happens where it starts to taste less good. (Plus Halloween? All that free candy you get? Well, not as an adult, just saying!)
And I mean, sure, I can, in theory, go to sleep when I want, but.... turns out I can't really function the next day if I don't go to bed at a reasonable hour. And it's not like my body will really let me sleep in anymore. Enjoy those days of sleeping in, ok?
And it's not just that. It's the bill paying, the waiting on hold for ages with this company or that company when this goes wrong or that doesn't happen. It's being frigging responsible. FOR EVERYTHING.
You really have no idea what all you are not having to deal with right now youngsters, so please, please, don't rush to get where we are. I'm not a huge fan of this whole "adult" thing. Just saying.
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
