What's Bubbling in the Stew?

Class of '97

In the words of Peter Griffin (Family Guy), "you know what grinds my gears?" A few of my pet peeves are: toilet seats left up, empty ice cube trays left in the freezer, and unnecessary drama. Today, I'll focus on the latter of the 3. Just because people are adults, it doesn't mean they are grown. Let me repeat. Just because people can be tried as adults in a court of law (meaning 18+), or are built like adults, or can drive and operate other heavy machinery DOES NOT make them grown. Grown is a state of mind. If a 13 year old had a voice like Barry White, you may mistake him for a grown man on the phone, but in person you'd see he still acts like a kid. Same thing goes for adults. They may talk a good game, and seem like they have their stuff together, but when you really listen to them, you realize the mental growth stopped somewhere around 15. These are often the same people who have sucka attacks (see "sucka attack" post), live in their parents basement (see "grow up" post), & like to keep up drama. While it gets good ratings on tv, real life drama should stay where it belongs - in high school. Who has time to worry about who said what to whom and why? The adults I know are too busy grinding, trying to make things better for themselves and their families. So, if you know anyone trying to perpetuate drama, tell them proudly you left that behind when you graduated high school. I've been drama free since '97.
