Dude....

I saw the coolest thing today.....

As I was driving to Bruce, I came to the road that turns to Macedonia. A car had just stopped, and a boy jumped out of the car with his hands in the air as if saying 'yeayy!' From the back his mom got out, giving him a high five. It was just so cool to see him so happy.

NOW.......I'LL ADD ONE DETAIL TO THE STORY:

As I was driving to Bruce, I came to the road that turns to Macedonia. A car had just stopped, and a black boy jumped out of the car with his hands in the air as if saying 'yeayy!' From the back his mom got out, giving him a high five. It was just so cool to see him so happy.

Did that one detail really make a difference? It's odd, but I think it did in a way. It changes how you think of it. Now that you know it was a black boy, you probably see him celebrating in a different way. Sad though, huh?

Ok sorry......now on with my post....

I just got to thinking.....sure that boy is happy now that he learned how to drive, but in 4 years he'll find out how much it SUCKS! Actually having a car is so much trouble. You have to ....do....stuff for/with it. Gas.....insurance.....Armor All......it sucks. Life was so much easier when you could just sit in the back or the passenger seat while someone else drove you around.

Just thinking little buddy.....you won't be jumping for long.

Reality sets in sometime.

But still, it was cool.
