Do Your Own Nails You Little Brats

I've been working hard moving Mom and all of her stuff,and getting her settled. I decided to treat myself to a manicure and pedicure. I have only had 4 manicures in my entire life. I was in my late 30's before I ever had the first one. I always thought I could do it just as well as they do, so why spend the money. However, those Vietnamese give a mean mani/pedi. So I'm sitting there relaxing and I glance to my left. Sitting in the massage chairs next to me were two little girls; probably 7 and 10 years old, getting a pedicure. Really???? What did they do to deserve a pedicure? They don't work hard all day long in high heels or garden all day and get their nails chipped and caked with dirt. Can you say "SPOILED!" It didn't appear to be a special ocassion like a birthday or anything and I overheard the older girl say that she has had pedicures before. When? since you were 3? Their Mom was pacing through the shop talking on her cell phone the entire time. What happened to Mom's and daughter's bonding while doing their nails. As I am finishing with my appointment a group of young teens all came in presumably for services. The next generation is going to be filled with pampered little brats thinking that the world owes them a living and that they don't have to work to get it. I realize that a few little girls getting a manicure doesn't represent an entire generation, but it's a little scary to me. Plus, it really pisses me off.

Me too. especially since I work all the time and still don't have the money for a mani/pedi whenever I feel like it. But, I can't complain too much considering i've always been pretty spoiled. And look how I turned out:)

I didn't get a manicure until I stopped biting my nails. Bitches! Love you Patti. Amanda I think you turned out the best of all of us. :) Must be all that cottage cheese. + julie
