We all have "those friends" who can't stay out past 11 p.m. or change plans last minute. Well, I was that friend. These are just a few of the struggles that we had, and maybe still have to, live with. I feel for y'all. So, hopefully this won't cause too much PTSD!
1. Having a tracking app on your phone.
Not find my friends. Life360. Look it up. So yeah we're double tracked.
2. They don't just text once.
There's no "sorry, I forgot to reply" or "my bad, I just didn't check my phone." If you don't reply within 30 seconds, expect a solid 5 texts and 7 missed calls.
3. Having to delete everything off of your phone periodically because you never know when it will be taken.
I think the most terrifying moment of my childhood was having my phone randomly taken and not being able to clean it out first.
4. They'll stay up until your home every single time you're out.
So basically curfew is based on how tired they are.
5. Calling to say you're going to be 5 minutes late? Forget it.
Maybe because of bad traffic? Or you just lost track of time, right? Nope. Consider yourself already grounded.
6. God forbid you get an attitude...
Life = over.
7. Sleepovers? HA yeah right.
AND ON A SCHOOL NIGHT??? hahahahhahahaha no.
8. If plans change, just go ahead and assume you don't have plans anymore.
9. You get really, and I mean REALLY, good at lying.
10. Having a rehearsed, foolproof story for why you were late.
I mean yeah you're already grounded but might as well shoot for a shorter sentence.
11. That look when your friends tell you to just sneak out...
Yeah no my parents would be in my car grounding me before I even cranked the engine.
12. Better keep your secrets way on the DL because if your siblings get ahold of that...
Yep. Blackmail.
13. Trying to figure out when the best time is to tell your parents that you have a boyfriend.
And have for the past year and a half...
14. Being mom of the group because that's just how you've been raised.
Old habits die hard.
15. Tattoos? Piercings? HAHA yeah right.
16. "What is that $17.29 charge from Walmart at 3 am on Wednesday, November 23rd?"
...chips.
