Emma time for bed okay you know hun I really wish you wouldn't watch that stuff those people online the lives they show off that's their job their lives aren't really that glamorous yeah they are they have private jets taking them all over the world that's amazing who does lots of people online and one day I'm going to be just like them with a nice rich mansion and even a shark tank in the living room shark thing really last year you wouldn't put a foood in the ocean because you're a scare of sharks and now you want one in your own house you know how much a shark eats no thanks well that won't matter I'll feed her whatever it wants and I'll be rich and I'll live in a mansion and I'll have the best designer clothes and not a computer with a broken screen Amma don't we give you clothes yeah Julia's hand me downs not all your clothes are hand me- downs and hey they're still good clothes besides that you might not have the latest model but you have a computer you think I had a computer when I was 11 there were computers when you were 11 how old do you think I am I mean they were a lot bigger but they existed all we're saying is that everything you need you have it right here that may be true I do have everything I need but not everything I want and we work really hard to give you as much as we can you know all those things you see online the cars boats those things are very expensive and we both work really hard to make ends meet you know that is working two jobs to put your sister through college right so I think the Jad might have to wait speaking of I got to get to work and you got to get to bed see you in the morning kiddo oh and something to think about it's better to be grateful for what you do have than to worry about what you don't have just some food for thought I think that's true honey yeah I know you do but you guys don't get me I don't want a normal life I want to be rich and famous go to parties with celebrity all right all right come here maybe one day you will change your mind until then get some sleep honey good night good night Mom I love you love you too and then this morning I was telling my parents about how my laptop is like totally busted and they were like well try to make it last while it can and I was like I am and it's broken yeah we need a new computer too ours is like so old did you see the new Mac laptop it's like everyone online already has it it's like I need that that would be cool but what can you do right I feel like just don't worry about it because you can't control what your parents do so I just try and be happy with what I have and not mad about what I don't right weird my mom said something just like that well it's true I mean we're like 11 we don't have any money besides our parents probably need to spend on adult stuff like our house and bills and whatever yeah I mean I guess but how much could our house cost it has like three bedroom oh I mean it's you know fine did you see the new video inak king 11 posted yesterday the one where he went on the private jet to the Bahamas see that's what I need in my life it's like I can't believe I rode a regular old plane we stayed in Hawaii and we were trapped in like cattle you went to Hawaii that's pretty cool yeah it was all right I mean we didn't even stay on the beach we were like a mile away from the water or something still though Hawai
