Kids don't understand that certain things in their life that they take for granted are not inalienable rights, but instead are given to them as favors and can be taken away if grantor of said favors deems it no longer in their best interest to continue giving of themselves.
For instance, like being driven to school instead of having to walk.
Overheard this morning:
"Mom, did you know that you used to be able to buy a hamburger for only 10¢?"
"Really? Wow that was a good deal."
"But it was a very, very long time ago. WAAAAAAY way back when."
"And exactly how "way back when" are you talking about?"
"Like when you were a kid."
If we weren't on the freeway at that very moment I would have pulled over and made him walk.
You know like I had to do when I was a kid.
20 miles.
In the snow.
Uphill.
Both ways.
