Designer kids…
What the hell is the world going to come up with next?
I'm not one to say technology needs to go somewhere else, but still…
The things these people come up with nowadays...honestly.
Perfect child…damn it, people.
Why can't you ever just be happy with what you're given?
Isn't that ever enough?
Then again, I suppose, if you're privileged enough,
You can get whatever you want, but I'll tell you one thing…
I wouldn't trade my kids for the world.
And I sure as hell wouldn't want to change anything about them.
What kind of thing is that to do, anyhow? To try and make a perfect child…
Hate to break it to you, but kids are gonna make mistakes.
That's just the way they are.
And if they don't look the way you expected them to,
Why does it matter?
You should just be happy you're even having a kid, 'cause
There are plenty of people out there who don't,
And who can't, and there you are sitting around determining exactly what you'll get.
That shouldn't be determined by a human, by the way.
All you're doing is screwing with the way things are supposed to be.
The emptiness inside the house is more obvious now than it was before.
I wish more than anything that the kids were there,
To make some kind of noise, because now, it's getting to the point where
I wouldn't care how late it was or how loud they were,
I just want something to come and fill this empty space.
And I'm tempted to laugh at myself, even though it's not really funny,
Just because I've realized something.
I really don't understand why some parents feel like they've gotta
Determine everything about their kids, because honestly, all it does is
Push them away, 'cause they want their own lives, not yours.
And even if you can't see it, other people can, because there are a lot of people out there
Who don't care what they do so long as they don't get hurt, and a lot of people who think
That their kids are perfect, without the designer stuff.
If you haven't noticed, I'm one of them.
