Today, I told my parents that what I'd really like for my 21st birthday is the 1865 edition of the Memoirs of Saint-Simon in 22 volumes that I found online for $200, and have been wanting for months. They laughed and said, "Yeah, right. We'll get you an iPhone and perhaps you'll become normal." FML

Even parents have fallen into the so common desires of society nowadays... (wanting everything related to apple)

I like how the parents of this generation bitch about how the kids are "all illiterate" and we're failing academically, more and more, yet, they would rather buy phones/ipods than books!

They probably want grandchildren someday. Be a kid. Have fun, make some friends and enjoy the social aspects of life!
