Kids have too many role models nowadays.
Well, people that they think should be role models, anyway.
I wouldn't be saying anything if things like this didn't happen,
Some rock star telling people that it's bad to take their meds,
And this girl taking his advice, and driving through a crowd.
Not pushing or shoving…actually driving, and y'know, stuff like that…
It kills people.
But people don't think about it.
All they see is some celebrity, telling them, hey,
This is cool. And this isn't. And if you do it, then you're not cool.
What the hell kind of world is that?
And who tells a kid that, anyway?
What kind of role models are these people?
And why are our kids following them?
Too many questions.
Later on, when it's over and done with,
I realize that it's my weekend again. And it's late, but not too late.
When I go to the house, the twins are still awake.
And after informing their mother that, finally, I've shown up,
We leave.
It feels weird, having them, and not their older sisters tagging along.
We've done it before, though.
I guess the weird part is that now, the older two can see me whenever,
And they can't, because of this damned arrangement.
I'm informed by Elizabeth that once again, they've watched the news, and have
Figured out exactly what's going on.
She tells me she thinks it's stupid, what this so called rock star was pushing for,
And needless to say, I'm relieved when her brother agrees.
At least I know I don't have to worry about the two of them,
Or the older two, either, because
They've all got good heads on their shoulders, and
Of course they're not going to fall for something as stupid as that.
Then again, they don't have any issues that I know of.
And if they do, they haven't said anything.
And I wonder why I think of this, because it scares me more than this case did.
