@scabbs Do you mean the Stephen King story? I didn't know a movie was made from that, though I did find and listen to a radio adaptation years ago.

Instead of saying "I have to", start your day with "I get to" I get to exercise. I get to see my family and friends. I get to tell someone I love them. I get to eat good food. I get to work and earn money. I get to experience new things. I get to make someone's day better. It's all about perspective.

Okay, I'm not going to argue with you. But you better be able to take a good care of them once they are out because kids can be a lot! Especially when they are teenagers or when they are too, toddlers who think they know everything, just like teenagers but they really don't! There are a lot of parents that think they can handle their kids but then they find ways to be able to just give them things and or send them off somewhere else so that they don't have to deal with them is the thing. I think kids require a lot of bribery basically and sometimes it seems like that's all you're doing. So then we have a world that is populated with people who think the world owes them something. And that is scary. If you could actually hear me out instead of me being in a text you would know that this is not a serious as it sounds in a text message. But at the same time I warn anyone who thinks that having kids is the solution to anything. :-) it's much better to be an aunt or an uncle because at the end of the day you get to send the kids back home hopefully and you get to say ask your parents or let your parents deal with you.
