Greg was explaining to the girls that there are people in the world with REAL problems.
Third world problems.
Problems that include things like; no homes, no clean water, no food, no clothes, no parents, no Minecraft.
The fact that the Wifi is a little slow during a storm is a first world problem and we don’t have a lot of sympathy for similar complaints.
Some other first world problems our kids have complained about as recently as five minutes ago;
- Oh I do not like this sheet on my bed. If you don’t take it off right now, I’m just going to sleep on the BARE mattress! I can’t even turn on it. My body just gets stuck. It’s disgusting.
- The PVR isn’t working. When I try to watch what I taped or rewind LIVE TV, it just says there’s a problem with something and it won’t let me.
- Cutting spaghetti isn’t even fun.
- Do I have to wear my rash guard shirt at the water park? I’d rather get a sun burn than wear this dorky thing.
- You put way too much orange juice in the fresh fruit smoothie tonight, Mom.
- The pool water is only 80 degrees. I feel like I’m swimming in icicles. We might as well just drain it.
- Handing them a bowl of popcorn, “What, we have to share this?!”
- Why did you only read four chapters to me tonight?
- Oh gross, is this tap water?
- Are you serious? We’re out of detangler?
