The “Six Sentence Story Blog Hop” from GirlieOnTheEdge1.wordpress.com for this week is CROSS.
As a child I obeyed without question whatever my mom or dad told me to do.
Likewise, I did not do what they told me I was not supposed to do.
I was a very obedient child.
But as a teenager who began to exert my independence, I had ideas of my own, and they didn’t always coincide with those of my parents.
Oh boy, do I vividly remember those first verbal clashes when I wanted to go my own way – and we crossed paths and mine wasn’t the direction my parents thought was okay!
I asserted my will and to my increasingly cross parents, I shouted, “It’s not up to you!”
“Don’t be so bold, you sassy thing!”
Love,

PS – Have you ever crossed your parents?

Sad to say I never did
Well, that’s not sad, Derrick. That’s the obedient child I envisioned!!
The teenage years! Total defiance of our parents, weren’t they, Jan!
Not total… but sometimes!
I was the model child and did not cross my parents. My sister and brother did it enough and as the youngest child, I witnessed it all.
That doesn’t surprise me! A model child grew in to a wonderful adult! ❤️
I never crossed my parents and I still don’t. I do wish I had been more of a rebel when I was younger.
Blessings!
Actually, I never crossed them either, I just questioned. That was natural & healthy!
Mostly, no. Once I was in college, I realized they were wrong on one thing to my way of reckoning, and I crossed them on that, but we are still close. They are 86 and 89 now, and we text every day, I see them every week (my brother lives there to keep an eye on things).
I’m so glad you still have both parents at their advanced ages. God bless your bro for being there. Do they live relatively close to you?
I don’t remember crossing you but I do remember getting mad at you when you made me go to bed and I couldn’t watch the end of the movie I was watching. Kids these days can just click on the movie the next day to see the rest 😀
So true!
At some point it is not up to the parents what the child does.
