Life isn’t Just Fun and Games

Saturday night Brian and I went to the mall, we intentionally planned to watch a movie but the tickets where sold out, so we bought a baby football and threw it in the mall. It would soon be 1:00 am so I had to call my mom to pick us up, but Brian convinced me to stay another hour. While Brian and I threw the ball, we started to talk to the mall cops.

We talked about each others life, and then the mall cop brought up the topic of when we grow up. He told us that unlike him who has to earn every penny to support his family, we are probably going to inherit a business or a company, I think he was trying to tell us that we where spoiled and that we shouldn’t throw a ball in the mall. This experience has changed me because I am now more grateful for what I have, and I see what a lot of people have to go through every day to support their family.
