Parents cannot:

° Wear Skinny Jeans

° Shop At Spencers

° Dye Their Hair

° Take Pictures With Their Middle Finger Up

° Whine Like Teens

° Make 'That What She Said' Jokes

° Fall Out Over One Direction

° Fall Out Over Justin Bieber

Parents may be "cool and fun" but some stuff is just not acceptable at all.

I know I'll freak out if I see my mom blasting Justin Bieber. Imagine your Dad beat boxing to Eminem.

Creepy right. Exactly!

Like I said before my Mom did the Harlem Shake and the memory still burns in the back of my head.

So you know what I did to side this problem? I asked my Mom why would parents try to act like teenagers? This is what she said:

Her: That parents do this because they don't want to grow up.

Me: But that doesn't make since they have kids/ a kid now they a need to grow up.

Her: Yeah but who wants to get told they're old?

Me: True.

Her: I went through that stage when you turned 10.

Me: What do you mean?

Her: I went to night clubs, a lot dye my hair red, bought a convertible, bought dick lollipops from Spencers trying to be cool.

Me: *Face palmed* and died.

It's not only children

who grow. Parents do

too. As much as we

watch to see what our

children do with their

lives, they are watching

us to see what we do

with ours. I can't tell my

children to reach for the

sun. All I can do is

reach for it, myself.
