Yesterday, Colleen F responded to the question about what musical instrument you would have liked to have learned to play by writing that as a kid, she wanted to play saxophone but her dad wouldn't let her.
That made me wonder, is there anything your parents said you shouldn't do that they were wrong about?

Swallow my gum! I'm still waiting for that gum tree to appear.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... Read so much? They kept pushing me to "go outside and play," but reading was the foundation for my future writing endeavors. I realize now, as an adult, that they just wanted me to go away so they could talk about grown-up stuff.
ReplyDeleteI was supposed to toe the social line. To join. To fit in. I tried. I really did. A lot of wasted effort on their part and a lot of guilt on mine.
ReplyDeleteTo trust myself to make the right decisions for my own life.
ReplyDeleteI was left to my own devices while my sister was sick with cancer, dont blame my parents, but I ended up with no advice and a lot of bad choices...including our college!
ReplyDeleteForget about writing; get a real job!:0)
ReplyDeleteMy parents told me I couldn't play an instrument because I was involved in too many other things. I wish they told me to ditch cheerleading practice and got me a drum kit. ; )
ReplyDeleteThey said I shouldn't go out of state to college. Pfft. I wish I'd have ignored them.
