Fridays.

It's Friday, I get it. We're all tired, and nearing the end of the school year, we're surprised we're still functioning somewhat normally. However, we students aren't the only ones that are mentally deteriorating by the end of the week. Case study #1: My parents.

Example A: This morning, my mom and I were up eating breakfast and watching the news. A short clip came on after a transformer explosion last night in a neighboring township.
My mother: "Oh! I thought they meant transformers like the movie!"
Yes, mom. That makes perfect sense. You keep thinking that, I'll just go to school now.

Example B: On our way to the grocery store, my dad was lecturing me and my sister about the declining standards of American education.
My sister: "I know there are 50 states, I just don't know what all of them are called."
My dad: "Seriously? By the time I was in 6th grade, I could name every country and its capital, on top of the 29 Mexican states I had memorized."
Me: "Dad, you do know there are 31 states in Mexico, right?"
Oh, the irony.
Yeah it's late, I get that too. I should probably go to sleep now.
