So over the past couple of weeks my interaction with the Whistle Gang has picked up a quite a bit. I've become some form of a role model. Yep I just wrote that shit. Anyone who really knows me knows that kids think im the shit. Its a simple concept that I've come to understand and appreciate, kids will look up to people who treat them like people. I speak to them as small adults and they dig it. I've learned a lot from these small hoodlums. Shit one day I might just have a little Whistle Gang Member of my own. So if you come across a kid with a witty mouth and respectful demeanor it just might be mine. Holla

This is cracking me up! I can see how you could be a role model. I agree that they will listen if you talk to them like adults. They are so accustomed to being ignored or belittled because of their age. If you find the right kid they will def have some interesting insight. Everyone should constantly be trying to learn new things/get a wider perspective. Sad that people discount them based on age...i remember how that shit would piss me off when i was younger! My fav part is " I learned a lot from these small hoodlums" lol. So did you name them the Whistle Gang for a reason?
ReplyDeleteYeah I call them the Whistle gang for a good reason its a funny story too I had in on my facebook but I'll post it on here too.
