my mom just came to me and ranted about how everyone is making this facebook status that says, βraising teenagers is like nailing jello to a treeβ. she was so baffled by this because she said, βyou were pretty easy to raise as teenagers. all you did was sleep and eat.βΒ
so to prove some point sheβs going to nail a small cup of jello to a tree.Β
sheβs so pleased with her self
incredible
parents are weirdΒ
yeah but this is about as accurate as it gets.
you say βnail jello to a treeβ and most people think jello all by itself.
but if you put any actual thought into what youβre doing and then give it just a little support
well gosh. look what happens.
please tell your mom good job.
also love how the original metaphor of βnailing jello to a treeβ is about trying to force your bizarre and arbitrary will on something that is categorically disinclined to do such a thing, for no conceivable reason.
