I am so sick of people calling me "Son". You know who gets to? Black people over 58 years old, and my ######6 parents. Okay? 58 years old is the minimum age for black people, because at that age, they are both seasoned and wrinkly like a raisin. They have loads of life experience, both from dealing with racism AND just being old, and they get to see everyone as below them. Why? Because old black people are awesome, that's why. Why?
For me personally, its when we went to NYC. We were sitting on a bus headed to the Guggenheim Museum (Because why not?), and a old, 65-75 year old woman sat on the bus next to me, eating cake. She was a good 300+ pounds. A bit with white frosting fell on our shoe, and she immediately noticed. She said "Ooh, sorry baby. You want some, son?"
Now, first off... she called me baby. Makes me giggle! But secondly, she called me son, and I wasn't pissed off, A: Because she's old, and probably has kids of her own, and B: SHE SURPASSED THE MINIMUM 58 YEAR DEADLINE!!!
But when 20 year old and 16 year old classmates call me son... what the ###$ kind of wannabe gangsta #######4 is that?! I don't come up to you and go "Whats up, acne neck?" I gotta tone it down. "Whats up, pimples" seems to be fine, especially to teachers. Straight A's, here I come!
But in the end, its all about maturity. Sure, not everyone over 58 years old is mature... just look at most Republicans. But most of them are. I'd wager a good 87-90% are mature, and the rest are just the loud majority we have placed into elected office because were dumbasses. But I feel that Zack and Nic are quite mature in their own little ways. So ###$ it! They can call me son. They never do, because they are mature and know that's just weird. But, ever since Nic started doing daycare for the church on Wednesday nights and every 3rd Sunday of the month, he has been calling the little girls "Girls", the boys "Guys", and the groups "Shitheads". Its all in context. But I have never heard him call a kid "Son" once.
If it isn't about maturity, then maybe its just preference. And thats all fashion, politics, food, drinks, anything really is. Preference. You aren't born a stupid pathetic hipster who relies on welfare and parents paychecks to buy drinks at the local club! You were made that way, by dumbass friends as pathetic as you. You preferred these friends over others. Now look at what you've become. Same applies to idiots who call each other "Son". If it happens enough, it becomes commonplace. Slavery in the 19th century, Mob Bosses during the depression era, 1930s, and now "Son" taking over the kids lingo because they're too stupid to think of something cool to say.
Thats why we need a good budget. To teach kids that calling each other "Son" when they're ######6 kids is as stupid as Michele Bachmann at a town hall on teabag manufacturing.
Just knock it off. I like to rant, but no one likes to read. Know what I'm sayin, son?
Grrr...
