Adulthood DOES NOT Suck

Things I've been considering lately, that I think suck about current media practices:

• Adulthood doesn't suck, and the glorification of a "carefree youth" is bullshit.  Youth is full of care, and ask any 20 something with college debt what they can get that's free.  They'll laugh their asses off at you.
• Wrinkles, gray hair, and a need for sleep are not bad. 
• Wisdom, yo. What's with the dumbing down of dads and turning them into caricatures of  wisdom? Stop that. It's demeaning, and does nothing to promote positive images of parenthood.  Want fewer single moms?  Stop showing dads as idiots. They aren't.

I know, this is a list. The ideas are not complete, and could use more details and expository text. But, that's all I have time for today, and I'd rather write something than nothing.

Setting:  A suburban yard that boasts dandlions, trees, a picnic table, and a child-designed hammock swing.

(Bunny hops out of rabbit hole, and begins chomping on dandelion)

Cat 1: "Hey, look at that, a new bunny!  Those babies are the best!"
Cat 2: "Hey, back off! I saw that bunny first!"
(Cat 2 and Cat 1 gang up on yard bunny, preventing escape back to rabbit hole)

Bunny:  Oh SHIT! Oh SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!!

Puppy: Oh hey guys! Can I play? Yes! I love this game. I love this game I love this game! Chase is the best!
(Puppy starts chasing cats.)

Cats: Ugh. That puppy. She ruins everything.
(Cats stop chasing, pretend that all along, they were sitting by the picnic table, grooming themselves.  Bunny stops running from cats.)

Puppy:  CHOMP!  (muffled) Hey, cats, I got dis fing you chased. I won? Did I win?

Daughter: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! No! No puppy!! We don't chomp bunnies!!!!
