...The most I have programmed into my calculator is the ability to type, "The answer to life, the universe, and everything," and get 42. "What do you get when you multiply six by nine," has the same result.
So, we walk into one of my fav stores. I find a dress that's really cute, and my mom says it's not like me to wear dresses. So I retort that it's for church, and she shrugs and says I'll need shoes. We don't find another dress for a different thing though, so I was a little annoyed by that.
So we go to Famous Footwear and guess what?
The kids(I am only 10--I still wear kids shoes.) section only has open toes, glittery, or something with a giant flower or star or something on the toe. I am fairly annoyed by this, because my mom is getting annoyed and saying I'm being picky.
We go to Penny's. I find a cute top for the concert tomorrow, and look at some dresses. Well, I find a short skirt, yellow dress.
The conversation:
Me: [Picks up the dress] "This is cute!"
Mom: [Glances at dress] "I'm dressing you like your an eighteen year old."
Me: [Thinking mom is going crazy] "It's not an eighteen year old dress!"
Mom: "Yes it does! It looks to... flirty."
Me: [Groans] "And you say I'M being picky."
Mom: [Looks at dress better] "Okay, now that I think about it, it looks good."
Me: [Annoyed] "No, you said you didn't approve, so I won't wear it."
Mom: [Glares] "Well, now that I think about it, it's cute."
Me: "Well, you said you didn't like it at first. So I won't wear it."
Mom: "You can wear it!"
Me: "No. You said you didn't like it, so I won't wear it."
Mom: [Glares]
*sigh*
We had these kind of conversations in every single freaking store. I didn't get any shoes, and I have a good reason not to wear heels, glitter, or giant flowers on my feet.
1) Glitter looks stupid, along with giant fake gemstones and rhinestones
2) Heels make me trip and fall. And I'd rather keep my face away from the ground, thank you very much.
3) You know those flowers on sandals? Well, those scratch my feet and make me uncomfortable.
And why do I never dress up?
1) If I dress up at school, people stare.
2) If I dress up at school, dresses are ripped.
3) Same with shirts and pants.
4) Things get stained.
My mom's making me go to a religious event tonight. So she's dragging me off to sit among strangers/worshipers who want to shake my hand and ask if I've been to the last meeting and did I read the assigned passages from The Bible? Yeah, that'll instill a love of god in me.
I hate going. People notice I hate them (the meetings, not the people) by the way I never know what they hell they're saying. I'm not religious either. History class has made me despise everything that has to do with church. I believe in god, not religion (if that makes sense. It's frustrating that it doesn't make sense to my parents.).
