"You still would have died" is the kind of irrational thing you would expect a mother to say in that kind of situation i think. Or at least you wouldn't agrue with her. "I dont believe in prescriptions" is a strange thing to say. But the mother of a girl i was friends with when i was younger used to say things like that all the time. I lost count of the amount of things she didn't believe in. "Are you coming out for Haloween?" "No, my mother doesn't believe in Haloween." Whats not to believe in? It may be a dumb "holiday", this is true, but let the kid out to have some fun for Gods sake! |
Yea, my folks used to be massive Christians when I was coming up and they didn't celebrate holidays. We couldn't celebrate Christmas because my dad said Jesus wasn't born then and it was a pagan holiday, so we had "Toy Day" instead... where we went to the store with X amount of budget and bought what we wanted. That's worse than it sounds.
Halloween, was "the devils holiday" so we couldn't celebrate that either. We had "Candy Day", where we had to spend the night at church where they told all the kids how scared we should be of the devil and all his tricks, then my dad took us to a grocery and gave us a minute to fill some brown paper bags with the candy we wanted. That's worse than it sounds. Easter, we couldn't celebrate that because the parents said "the world distorted the meaning of Easter, so you can't go easter-egg hunting... because that would be conforming to the will of the world, and not the will of the lord." Word for word. Thanksgiving was the only one we celebrated like other normal Americans. That's probably why I don't give much of a shit about holidays in general. All that is stupidity. |
My mother's husband comes up with some serious gems:
Looking outside the window in the door on Halloween: "Must be too cold for them colored kids!" Talking about our female governor: "That's what happens when you put a woman in office. They're ignorant. See, you can't just put someone in office because of sex or color. That's what's wrong with America today." then five minutes later on something unrelated "There's a lot of sexist pigs out there" On my grandmother: "Them damn Krauts just can't stay faithful can they!" My best friend's mom is even worse, we had to make a whole blog of **** she says Things Jeny's Mom Says lololol |
Paloma...
Wow. That is unreal. Jeny appears to have some really forward thinking parents! Quote:
Do you ever wish you had celebrated these holidays? Or do you just really not care? |
I wish I had... I mean, I used to be jealous of all the other kids who got excited for holidays. I never got to do that, so I never experienced it. I guess over the years, when you don't get to cultivate any kind of emotional connection with stuff like that, you naturally don't find yourself caring much about it.
It's like the difference between the death of a stranger and the death of a close friend. Holidays are strangers to me. They come and go, and I don't notice much. |
Yeah, that makes sense.
I don't think i ever necessarily treasured days like that when i was a kid. Christmas maybe but then again, it was probably just because i got loads of presents. I know i would treasure days like that a lot more if and when I have kids. I know that if you never have it, you can't miss it and so i imagine it just doesnt seem a big deal but I do look forward to choosing to be terribly traditional and sentimental. |

Well, one of the stupidest things I remember *I* did was when I was a passenger in a car and saw one of those expandable campers hitched to the car in front of us. The camper was around 3 feet tall, and for a moment I thought, "Huh. Is that a camper for little people?" I actually said it out loud, too! :o: |
