In the theatrical production of Metamorphoses, King Midas (the dude with the golden touch)states that money is a good thing. Then why is the world against me making any!? I'm 15, and old enough to work in any grocery story or fastfood joint, yet every time I ask, my mother starts making excuses like; you're going to be working for the rest of your life, you're just going to waste the money, spend time doing school work instead,in our housing complex, if you make money then you have to pay rent too...
She doesn't seem to realize that there's more to me than just computer games and manga. Sure, I could buy those if I had a job, but that's not what I want...
- 1 electric guitar and mini amp cost $300+
- Weekly theatre program
cost $400 for the year
- Trip to New York in May plus spending money
cost $900
These are the things I want to be able to do, and allowance money won't cover even one of these. She promised to talk to me about a job this month, and yesterday she told me to do chores for 6 months and then we would talk about it again. I hate it. I'm not a little kid anymore. I don't want to have to rely on gift money, of begging my grandparents. The items listed above are the things I want to earn on my own, in the real world. It's like a rite of passage, yet she refuses me. I wish there was a way I could prove to her that I'm capable of hadling life...without having to wait until life has passed me by.
