Gotta go! Big presentation today
Mom’s in the kitchen making a huge breakfast. Pancakes stacked high, tons of bacon, perfect scrambled eggs… dad grabs a slice of toast and bolts out because he can’t be late. Smooches mom on the way out and tells the kids he loves ‘em.
You, of course, barely have any time yourself. Because it’s the first day of school. And it’s bright as hell outside. Because you apparently go to school at like 9:30 or 10:00am.
Mom doesn’t even mind that nobody ate this food to fill an army.
If anybody actually experienced even one day like this growing up I will beat the fuck out of you. What movie director started this nonsense?? Insane to even think audiences wouldn’t laugh that shit right out the door.
But we didn’t. We almost let it creep all the way to the backs of our minds and make us envious of the life literally NOBODY had. We actually thought that was middle class living.
Hook, line and sinker. The American dream. Welcome to the nightmare.
