I’ve tried a thing. I don’t like it. It costs money. It requires working. Shopping. Cooking. Cleaning. It’s hard.
“Stay young.”
I didn’t listen. I grew up. It’s funny. All I wanted was to be old. Now I wish for youth. My parents paid. Now I pay.
“Let’s go out!”
I know. I shouldn’t.
Instead, “when and where?”
“Friday. Rialto’s.”
If I pay in cash… Do I pay? No, it’s not subtracted. Okay. I’ll save next week. Sunday. Groceries. Ramen is cheap. Mom, dad, family I miss you. Visit soon. Bring food and SNACKS. Please. I’m learning. I need you.
