heh, kid..

Yesterday I saw a group of lower sec school kids.. one of them was drinking free water from Macdonalds. He drank it all up in one gulp and then angrily tossed the cup to the ground as if the water had gone bad. heh, more like the kid gone bad.

I wondered, why the hell did he do that, it seemed pretty silly. did he think it was cool to litter like that? (in a pretty crowded area too). I wanted to go over and tell the kid off.. Then I remembered when I was about his age, younger actually..

I was in p6 back then.. I remember I had a friend who threw an empty coke can at a stairwell, it made quite a racket.. Back then I thought he was pretty cool (he was not just because he littered nonchalantly) even though I knew littering wasn't. Fact is nobody likes a boy scout, but if you're a rebel, an outlaw then people will think you're cool.. 

So.. I didn't tell the boy off.. if I did I know it wouldn't be of any good anyway. He'll just think I'm being a total asshole and not learn anything at all. (shiet, am I sounding like a total grown up now?) but now that I think of it, if I did.. it would have probably escalated to me raising my voice and attracting undesirable stares from all directions..
