Nothing is on TV on Saturdays. I was jotting down notes for a play adaptation with the tube on in the background, when the show Super Sweet 16 came on. Sure, it's nice to have a party when you turn 16. This particular girl had a party that cost her insane parents $300,000!
I turned 16 in a gymnasium in Burnt Church, NB. No one bought me a BMW, but since I still don't have a license, that would have been a pretty significant waste of money. I did get a 16-shaped birthday cake, and was serenaded with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday." That was plenty for me.
The old lady in me thought about the $300,000 and decided that I could pay off my OSAP and purchase a small, hip condo downtown with that kind of cash, giving me the freedom to decrease my work hours and dedicate more time to freelance writing projects.
Poor girl. I think her life just peaked at 16, being carried in by muscular men, a snake wrapped around her neck.
