Growing Up -- Life an Experiment

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

I was a kid once. I would play on the playground and ride my boke, and sometimes I would fall down. I would run home to my parents who knew exactly how to fix me up and make me feel better. I would play softball and have slumber parties. I did my homework, and sometimes I would make bad grades, and i would get in trouble. My parents knew exactly how to punish me.  Read More »
