Parents of a Kim...and their weird rules

Parents, everyone has them. My parents happen to be the crazy over protective type...in a weird way that is. But they weren't always like that. When I was a kid and we lived in a more rual part of Illinois where there were barely any people, they let me do what ever the hell I wanted to do.

I could get up, be half dressed and run across the street to my friend's house and they wouldn't care.

frequently my friends and I could be found inside the tall grass, that existed behind their house, without parental supervision. Dead mouse or empty beer bottle in hand.

When we moved away from that area and into a more populated area my parents decided that they had let me be too free in our old town and from that point on decided I wasn't allowed to do anything without their permission an they had to drive me everywhere...also they didn't allow me to wear overalls anymore.

As time went on and I made friends, they loosened up a bit. One friend had their absolute trust, my best friend Mary Kate, and I was frequently allowed to go to her house on weekends and sometimes even after school during the school day.

My parents still had some odd quirks though, I wasn't allowed to watch "Ed, Edd, n Eddy" for whatever reason, and even though I had known  my friend Connor longer than I had known Mary Kate, they rarely let me go over to his house for whatever reason.

After awhile I started to ignore their strange over protective ways and accepted it as normal. No cereal unless it was morning? Got it. If I go to Mary Kate's house late at night on the weekend I have to sleepover? Sure. But then their rules got...odd.

Well...more odd than me not being able to wear overalls anymore. See every year I go to this anime convention called Anime Central, acen for short. My parents let me spend 3 nights at my friend Ty's house when they knew that it was mostly guys including my now ex boyfriend, however I couldn't stay for one night at my friend's house because her brother, who was my age, was going to be in the room next door...O.o

Also they were...and still are very weird about me using the car...

So all in all my parents are crazy, they have weird rules, and they get more protective of me each day...but we have interesting conversations...so I'll keep them around for now. :3
