As the weeks and years pasts they never asked for any shoes like they saw other folks wear. Even when folks would ask them, "Don't you want shoes?", they's say "Nope". Furthermore, I had no reason to force them to wear shoes just because everyone else does. I've never thought is wise to do something just because everyone else does it. MMmmm... come to think of it, that smacks of brain washing in a way. I mean aren't people who do what everybody else does simply brainwashed into that particular cultural norm. TV advertising banks on people seeing a cool pair of shoes and rushing out to wear the 'in' thing... but I digress.
Anyway, the kids must have been around 3-5 years old when I started wondering why the hell I was wearing shoes. They seem to have so much fun not wearing them. So agile and seemingly comfortable and worry free. Well, I guess you can say they brain washed me into not wearing shoes. Since then none of us fellows has worn shoes, except when we go to the restaurant. Leslie has so far avoided the brain wash... but, well, we'll see.
You sound proud when you speak about the boys' birth. I noticed it when you told Vickie on the show that they were born in that room. I love that!
He falls into it occasionally too-says "I need Nikes because they make me run fast". I tell him Nikes only make money run fast out of my wallet...
It seems as if no one in your family has ANY privacy of their own. People are people and come to know themselves by getting to know their own individual preferences.
It seems that you have not taught your children the power of choice. You have only offered your beliefs and accept only such. We were created as individuals and are such. You ought to at least give your kids a chance in teh "real world." hey have not been able to experience anything else. Only one who exoperiences can make a decision that truly fits them.
I just wanted to say that I think Vicky made some valid points...wearing shoes for once would be a good start to become part of this society, instead of being a total loser and weirdo. If you try to live a third world country lifestyle, maybe you should go back to Asia instead of brainwashing your children and depriving them of everything the US !!!! has to offer. We're no trying to defend this country from the radical muslims to live like a third world country or have no personal rights like them, but instead focus on our children's individuality and freedoms. You say your children can do whatever they want, how come Luke can't drive and doesn't even seem to know that most people date at his age. Don't try to push your viewpoints and fears on your children...all you're doing is hurt them in the long run....CARL, ur a hypocrite :evil:
Hays,
Next time, try reading through the site prior to posting! I think you'd be surprised how many of your questions have been answered. Until then, you're out of line.
