Top Ten reasons to have hippie kids This is a reply to a "you're no hippy" post. It is meant in humor. Just my..err.... ten cents.... 10. patchouli smells better that gunpowder 9. this old fart can understand the music 8. Ani much cooler than Brittney 7. less blood for mom to wash out of clothing 6. vegetarian kids don't have rotting meat left in room 5. arrest for protest looks really good on UC Santa Cruz application 4. kids will likely not be John Birchers 3. makes silly clothes you wore in '73 trendy again 2. no insurance to pay on car-free kids 1. free thinking basis of culture could become life ideal anyone know who I was in 2001?
Are you asking who you were on HippieLand in 2001. I know I know. The question is do you want me to tell???? Haha, this is a great list. What about no fees to pay for the "free public education" if your kids are homeschooled. (My daughter had to pay over $300 for her two kids this year.) Kathi
how 'bout all the money you save on haircuts? Not to mention all the fun you have making their clothes. Who WERE you in 2001,I'm still the same. Maybe I'm due for a namechange...
You're right about the haircuts. Although everytime we see the grandparents they want to know when he's getting a haircut. Tonight at dinner the waiter asked what "she" would like to drink. I replied, "He wants lemonade." What about all the money you save on patchy clothes instead of designer jeans? Do you think he'll still wear them when he's a teenager. Kathi
The other day my 4yr old wanted to go outside, but, we live in an apartment and at that moment I couldnt go out with her so, I told her she couldnt go outside. She started crying and ran to the window and said "But, I want to see Mother Nature" Ohhhh soooo cute!
If we have more hippy kids, hopefully in a few years we'll have more hippy voters. Look out, we're taking over! Also, hippies having kids makes the rednecks nervous. Also, if more hippies have kids we can have more of an influence on the schools! Also, more hippies means that the green economy receives more support. If more kids are hippies then they won't care so much about preppy clothes and the preppies will be in the minority! (OK, maybe that last one is just my fantasy because I still remember those snotty preppies teasing me about my clothes.)
They don't complain when you buy second hand clothes at the resale store. You have more pets than you can count (I don't know if this is always so great, though.) They know rice and bread are SUPPOSED to be brown, and that granola comes out of the oven, not a box. You save money on food, because they breastfeed until they are four or so. You don't have to listen to rap in your home............ever!
