Do Your Parents Really Wish What's Best for You?

Do our parents really wish what's best for us? Well, acutally they do... but they don't always fufill on that wish, because they kind of mess up (often) when trying to do what's best for us.
Let's take, for example brussel sprouts. Now, I've just gone about and proved them deadly (see previous post), and yet your parents still force you to eat them, because they are "good for you." Also, parents ask you take out the trash... the disease ridden, filthy trash. That means you can get sick from the chore, and yet they still allow you to get in the direct path of disease. Being subjected to disease, last time I checked, is not good for you.
Now, I'm not saying your parents want you dead (with the abortion laws currently in place, they could have killed you before you were born), but I am saying that they can get a bit (for lack of a better word) clumsy, in taking care of you. It's like dropping you on your head (which I bet has actually happened to many people, but their parents won't admit it): nobody means for it to happen; you just slip. Accidents happen every day, and somebody has to suffer for it (or the world will have nothing to laugh at).
That's why teenagers usually think they are so unfairly treated: they are still young enough for accidents affect them, and yet they are old enough to realize that these accidents end up messing up their lives. Try to remember, though, your parents are giving you free room and board, free food, a free house, and will probably end up paying a hefty amount of your college enrollment fees. See, once again you have to look at the positive: parents = money. Just as long as you remember that, you will forgive them of all accidents... until it comes time to put them in a discount old folks home. *evil laugh*
