So yesterday while I was helping my dad prep for making Thai fried rice, we started talking. And it was about how there are difference between my brother’s childhood (like how he’s going through high school) and my childhood.

When I brought up that he’s starting to skip school and he’s in his freshman year (aka he’s just getting started) and that they are very lax on him overall compared to me, his counter-argument was “there were things you did that he didn’t… such as girl scouts. He never did boy scouts.” Ok, I took that as a good point, but then I listed off like 10 things that my brother got to do that I didn’t. Yeah, he said “but you did girl scouts…”

By the end of the discussion I pulled the gender card because I had nothing left. And I even told him, “you guys are much more lax on him because he’s a boy/guy. yes, I’m pulling the gender card and you can’t deny it because it’s true.” It was true.

My dad’s reasoning is he’s much more strict on me because I’m a girl and things can happen to girls that don’t happen to guys. BUT by the end of it, I got my “how late can I stay out until time” (aka curfew) extended from 9pm to 10pm @.@ If I want to do overnights or stay out later on like a Friday or weekend, he said case-by-case.

I’ll take the 10pm and slowly work my way to whenever ;)
