But we’re all just playing along.
Someone should just show up with beers.
And he made it so no one can even help him.
Life is funny sometimes, isn’t it?
Honestly, they’re not bad.
God bless ’em.
And yes, your parents will find out about them.
Except for a few naps.
I definitely think we could do a better job setting teenagers up for success if we were more transparent about the truth of life after high school.
