The Aznst Parents of Them All

Well, today provided plenty more testimonies as to why my parents are so azn.  And so, I've decided to compile a list of reasons my parents are azn... extremely azn...

1) Blame me for every problem that comes up - internet loses connection: "DAVIS!!!" Phone dies "DAVIS!!!" Scratch in paint "DAVIS!!!" Lightbulb stops working "DAVIS!!!"

2) Thinks grades are super important - My grades are supposed to be my life; my parents won't let me miss a single school day because they think it will somehow ruin my life.  Even when it snows 8 inches, mr parents retain the hope that school won't be cancelled.  In fact, my parents are so azn that when a doctor's appointment is on a weekday, they make sure that its super early so I can go to the appointment and make it back to school on time.

3) Are not satisfied with any grade - I got a 297/300 and a 300/300 on my standarized test.  My parents are angry at me for losing those 3 points.  In fact, my parents got extremly angry and dissapointed at me when one of my A+'s turned into an A, even though I brought two other A's into A+'s.

4) Think I should like school - Conversation yesterday: "You mean... you mean you don't like school?" they whispered.  "Uh, no, I actually don't."I reply. "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!" spazz spazz spazz.  And then I was kicked out of the room.

5) Try to be right all the time - Never listen to me... once at an airport, we got lost looking for the exit.  Eagerly, I pointed at the sign that said "Exit Left".  They decided to go to the right. And wasted another hour of my time.

6) Frugal/Saves Money/Cheap - Tries to trick storekeepers and uses coupons for everything. Food, clothing, toys; only bought if they're on sale.  Try to find every single saving they can in an attempt to save a few extra cents.  

7) Compare to everyone - Lin got a better score on that test.  Renish is more polite than you.  Justin is more musical than you.  It seems that no matter how well I do, my parents find a way to compare me to someone and lower my self esteem.  

8) Tell me to beat people up - If someone annoys me and I tell my parents they annoyed me, their answer is simple: Go beat them up.  So much for mutual respect.
