I wouldn't promise anybody a great education.
I wouldn't promise anybody a living wage.
I wouldn't promise anybody but hard work.
I grew up in nowhereville Nebraska. My parents weren't "poor" so to say, but we also weren't rich by any means. Chores? We didn't have chores, we just did what we were told.
Make your bed every morning.
Take out the trash before you got to school.
Wash your clothes, and/or sheets on Tuesday
Mow the lawn every week
Scoop the drive/sidewalks when it snows
If you backtalk to any adult, a whipping may well happen
A child is to be spoken to and not heard
While that isn't all that massive of an exaggeration of my childhood, it was a golden childhood. Biking for hours every day. Smear the Queer in everybody's backyard. Swimming from Noon to 6. Baseball. Kick the Can. Getting beat up by my brother that was 6 years older. Building snow forts in everybodies yard along with snowmen. Playing wiffle ball with hats and Styrofoam plates are bases. Playing Atari Pong and PacMan. Egging houses. Ding Dong ditch 'em. Soccer where I scored 7 goals in a single game and 27 of our 32 in a single season. Star Wars. Taking your dog everywhere. Hitchhiking as a 12YO for no reason. Smoking and smelling pot as an 11YO and knowing you'll never do that shit again. Seeing the hot babysitters boobs when she was 16 and you were 10. Finding your Dad's secret stash of Playboys. Jerking off for the first time and being caught by your mother.
Yeah. I had the world in may hands as a 12YO.
From 13YO forward? That is novel yet to be written.
