I Hate That Show My Super Sweet 16

Goodness.  I don’t have time to write.

It’s Paige’s birthday this Friday and I am hunkering down into serious event planning mode.  Last year, we had a low key family event (by her choice) and now she totally wants to make up for it by having me take her and her 5 closest friends to “Fright Fest” – which is a sort of souped up sideshow carnival that got derailed into Halloween-town.  This is my version of hell.

She actually asked if I could rent her a limo.

BRAAHAAHAAHAAAHAAA!  WE ARE IN AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, HONEY.

I blame this delusion of grandeur on that damn show “My Super Sweet 16” and their $300,000 Bat Mitzvahs.  It’s a disgusting reflection on American culture.  Charlie Brooker from the Guardian explains how I feel about it better than I can:

  1. Great to meet you at the class last night. I have an October birthday as well. I consider the whole month my month. Good luck with your teenager, I can’t wait till mine start asking for limo’s.

    Eve´s last blog post..Eve on it’s all fun and games till someone gets their eye socket crushed.

  2. Holy crap! That is hilarious/disgusting! Teenagedom has gotten pretty scary. I love the part where she throws her crown down after getting her new car on the wrong day.

    Charlie’s right – we’re doomed.

    But more than the teenage brat — the stupid mom is at fault. I’m sure it’s her parenting (or lack thereof) that allowed her little monster to bloom/explode.
