My mom always told me I was hard-headed. I don’t agree. I say I am determined–ambitious even! I know what I want, I go after it, and I don’t stop until I get it!
A few days after my high school graduation, my mom was ragging on me about going to college.
“I don’t need college, mom! College is for chumps!”
She gave me one of those “oh yeah??” mama looks, went into my room and started packing my things!
“MOM! What are you doing??”
“You think you’re gonna sit around here eating up my food, using my electricity with no job?? You must be crazy. You go to college, get a job, or get out. What’s it going to be?”
I took one last look at her, and then I walked out. I didn’t need her. I didn’t need anyone! I’ll be fine all by myself!!
Well, maybe if he’d used another phrase besides “college is for chumps” he might have gotten a little more respect. But his mom was a little freaked out, too. Hmmm….
Yeah, he was a little bit disrespectful. Darn 18 year olds lol.
Nice use of font size for volume and tone. Xavier will learn the hard. And sometimes the hard way is the best way.
Sounds like a 17/18 year old to me (I have one of mine in the house and one (now 21) living nearby; they are both awesome (truly) *and* they know everything too.)
Tough Love Xavier 🙂
Oh yes!
Oooh I love Mrs Pruitt! She seems like a tough love kind of Mom!!
She was definitely a tough love kind of mom! And he was hard headed lol.
*hears the sound of two stubborn heads clashing* Yep, that was mother and son I guess. They do have something in common, neither one would back down in that moment.
HA! This is so true!
