Pinky Promises, the kind that last forever. There was such a promise made to me that was kept until 2010. It was broken, just not by her choice.
My Mother made me that very important Pinky Promise when I was around 8/9 years old. I was having meltdowns every time mom left the house. She took each of us out by ourselves. That was where the Pinky Promise was made.
One of the videos I like was taking about pinky promises and that was what made me think of this.
Mom and I did not always get along. When I turned 14, I don't know what happened to me. I turned into an extremely sassy teen. Way more sassy than I had ever been. I also spent much of that year grounded, literally. The night before my 15th birthday, I started to count how many days I had been grounded then I had gotten to more days grounded than ungrounded so I started counting the ungrounded days. It was about 3 weeks and they weren't in a row, as a matter of fact, I was technically still grounded on my birthday the next day except mom said if I finished my lists of jobs, she would end the grounding for that time. I managed to finish them. I did spend my birthday ungrounded.
Our house was so perfectly clean. There was a reason for this. See mom had this idea that just being grounded is not enough,no, not at all. So here is your long list of housework to do while you are grounded, not sitting around moping. Like I said, I was really sassy because I was home so often cleaning it. After I graduated from Wayne State University, mom said to me that her job was done, I was educated and I had my degree so she could just sit back and relax. We actually stopped yelling at each other that.day. I was floored. She said that she was so nervous I would not finish my degree and that was why she was so hard on me. She knew at times she was too hard but couldn't stop herself.
