The next morning, Goten and Chi-Chi went to Capsule Corporations while Gohan went off sparring with Piccolo. After a 'training session' with Vegeta, Goten and Trunks were quite tired and lamented about there lives.
~*~
It's the hard knock life, for us.
It's the hard knock life, for us!!
'Stead of treated,
We get tricked!!
'Stead of kisses,
We get kicked!!
It's the hard knock life!!
~*~
"Trunks, can I ask you a question about Dads??", Goten queried. "Sure Goten, what do you need to know about Dads??", answered Trunks with a question of his own. "Well, I never saw my Daddy, but you've had yours your whole life. I wish I could talk to my Dad."
~*~
Got no folks to speak up so,
It's the hard knock row we hoe!!
Cotton blankets,
'Stead of wool!!
~*~
"Trunks, I'm hungry.", bluntly stated Goten before Trunks could answer, "Let's go down to the kitchen, and then you can answer me."
~*~
Empty bellies,
'Stead of full!!
It's the hard knock life!!
~*~
As the two were eating a few(twenty-five each)sandwiches, Trunks tried to explain what a Dad was, "Well, Dad's sometimes a re mean. They might make you train for so long that you miss lunch or dinner. Sometimes they say that you're weak, and not a true saiyan. And sometimes they don't care if you get hurt."
~*~
Don't it feel like the wind is always howling??
Don't it feel like there's never any light??
Once a day don't you wanna throw the towel in??
It's easier than putting up a fight!!
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy.
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink.
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy.
~*~
Trunks went on to say, "Sometimes Moms say that Dads are too tough on kids. Moms say that sometimes Dads cranky, sad, or a dumb@$$, but I don't know what that means. Can I have another sandwich Mrs. Goten's Mom??"
~*~
(Can't decipher line, sowwy)
Empty belly life!!
Rotten smelly life!!
Full of sorrow life!!
No tomorrow life!!
~*~
In between bites of food, Trunks continued with, "Dads can forget birthdays or holidays, but thats okay. Because then Dads blush and mumble, and gets hit on the head with a frying pan by a Mom. But even if they forget something important and make it up, Dads never say sorry. They say it's because a true warrior needn't have such emotions, but Moms say it's because Dads tend to be bakayaro when it comes to kindness and caring."
~*~
Santa Claus we never see.
Santa Claus, what's that?? Who's he??
No one cares for you a smidge,
When you're in an orphanage!!
It's the hard knock life!!
~*~
As the duo of demi-saiyans walked out of the kitchen that was recently ransacked with full stomachs, Trunks continued on his lectures about Dads. "Dads can make you train for long times, and you aren't allowed to choose. Sometimes you want to hurt your Dad in training sessions, but deep down you know he loves you, even if he doesn't show it to well. At least that what Moms say."
~*~
You'll stay up 'til this dump shines like the top of the Chrysler building!!
Yank the whiskers from her chin!!
Jab her with a safety pin!!
Make her drink(Can't decipher)!!
I love you Miss. Hannigan!!
It's the hard knock life for us!!
No one cares for you a smidge,
When you're in an orphanage!!
It's the hard knock life...
It's the hard knock liiiife!!
IT'S...
THE...
HARD...
KNOCK...
LIIIIIFE!!

"Yea, sometimes Dads can be a bit mean, but inside you know they love you. Like sometimes, when I'm supposed to be asleep, my Dad walks in and tucks me in and whispers "I love you" and walks out, thinking I'm asleep the whole time!!"
"Yea, sometimes Gohan or Mom checks in on me when I'm supposed to be sleeping, but never my Dad. You're so lucky Trunks, you're Dad sees you everyday, I only have a Dad in bedtime stories and dreams. What kind of Dad is that??"
Trunks stated, "Don't let it bother you, let's go spar before Gohan and Piccolo get back!!", and the two rushed off.
Unbeknownst to the two young boys, Goku had heard all of the conversation from King Kai's, and he silently shed a tear...
