Our protectors

Why our parents stay with us, I do not know? We are obnoxious, loud and annoying. We come out as babies whose shriek is so loud it could kill a man. As babies, we eat, poop, cry, and sleep. A baby takes what it needs selfishly, and gives nothing back. Lucky enough though, babies are cute and can somehow with pooping on the floor. But as we age, we reach the "awkward stage," also know as the ugly stage. It's the stage where you are just about to hit puberty, when all your teeth are falling off and you seem to be unable to move your body normally. Yet, our parents still love us. They think that we are the most beautiful and handsome boys and girls they have ever seen. We are little angels that fell from heaven and into their lives. Ugly angels, but still angels. Shortly after our awkward stage, we arrive to the infamous teenage stage. In this stage, kids are developing into young adults and hormones are raging. Many of these teenagers have decided that they are independent and don't need no parents (although parents pay for everything they do). They think they are more intelligent and far superior in every way imaginable. Symptoms include talking back, binge eating, fits of rage, and many emotional breakdowns. But once again, parents give all their love to their children. These demon children do almost everything and anything to be little brats, but parents still love them. They have some kind of superpower to endure all the torture that teenagers bestow upon them. Why do they do this? They must be on some pretty powerful stuff (if you know what I mean). Parents see the best in their children; Parents see themselves in their children, and know that they are only human and will make mistakes. Mom and Dad know that children need a hero, a person to be by their side no matter what. Someone they can wrestle with, or someone who can give a them simple hug. Our parents are our knights in shining armor.
