maturity is wearing thin, i think we should have a maturity bank...like a food bank

hmm...let's see here. we act like a freaking two year old our entire lives and everyone deals...does that make it ok? yeah--not at all. so...let's try something new shall we? admitting even though we never act like it--puberty DID hit somewhere along the path and that we can grow up and graduate from our Pamper's Pull-Ups to big kid underwear....act like the Seventeen year old man that you are.  all this stupid gossip, complaining about me, bad mouthing me...it needs to stop. its ridiculous its even happening. it would be one thing if we even talked...but we dont. so i dont know where you keep finding new things to say--your a creative kid we all know. whether i like you or not is irrelevant, i have enough respect for you and for myself not looking stupid, to not "bad-mouth" you in public, so if you could grow up and give me the respect i deserve, that would fabulous. crazy as it sounds...hearing about how horrible i am doesnt cheer me up--and when an adult has to tell you to shut up about gossiping i think we've hit a milestone dont you?  just throw away the pull ups...be a big kid...NOW
