Young Hoes Make Old Hoes! 11-27-11

I use to operate under the premise that a person couldn't be foolish all their life.  But, more recently I realized that that is not always true.  There are some men that will remain deadbeats until they die.  There are some women that will remain crazy baby mommas until they die.  In many instances, young fools make old fools and young hoes make old hoes.  (Yes I said hoes!)  Under my old thinking, it made perfectly good sense to me that over time and many life lessons, everybody learns from past foolishness, hurt, and stupid decisions and ultimately become super wise senior citizens.  YEA RIGHT!  I know a woman who is 80 years old.  She is more concerned about her appearance than she is the foolish things she says.  She is a complete diva; or at least she thinks she is!  She dresses very nice, keeps her hair whipped, wears very nice accessories, and wears expensive perfume.  She does not look her age at all!  But after having a conversation with her, I walked away amazed!  How we got on the subject I don't know, but this woman had the audacity to tell me Ive always loved dating married men!  I could be bothered with them when I wanted to and then they could go home to their wives.  (She probably still does!)  REALLY??  Who says that?!!!  Who says that to a married woman?!!!  And even more importantly, who says that at 80 years old?!!!  I guess what I expected to hear was Honey, when I was younger I did some crazy stupid things.  I dated married men, not thinking that one day I would be married and would hate for my husband to cheat.  But I guess not everyone learns from their mistakes.  Some people use those mistakes, those hurts, those dumb decisions as stepping stones to elevate them to higher levels of ignorance, bitterness, and foolishness.  I have said all this to say, in the words of my dad "Don't be a fool all your life!"  Really!  Don't go through life having learned nothing.  Don't be an 80 year old dead beat, an 80 year old fool, an 80 year old hoe, or an 80 year old bitter baby momma.  Who wants to go through life like that?!  I hope that everything I have experienced has made me better and wiser, not bitter and battered.
