Stupid Kids
My mom and i were watching TV. I was waiting for the sun to go down so i could head up to Justin's. I noticed that this seemed to be taking longer than normal. Suddenly, the door bell rang. I went to answer it, but no one was there. I was a little angry, but decided to ignore it and went back to the TV room. The doorbell rang again, so i went to answer it again. Again, there was no one there. This time, i looked around outside before giving up. It was raining pretty hard. I noticed there was an umbrella sticking out of my mom's car (her old car...i miss that car...). I walked over to it, and i found a kid from down the street in the car. He got out and followed me into the house. I tried to figure out exactly how to ask him "What are you doing here?" and just as i started, he began to speak as well, so i cut myself off and just decided to let him tell me what was going on. "PLEASE take care of me!" he shouted. He repeated this a few times, and i said "No." He had some sort of papers about it too. I read on them something about "Deferring responsibility." I told him, "I defer responsibility to my mom, who will, in turn, defer responsibility back to your parents." I think i told him to get out at that point. In any event, he left soon after. A little while later, i decided that it was a bit odd how easily we had gotten rid of him, so i thought i might check outside to see what was going on. It wasn't really raining anymore, but i saw the umbrella sticking out of the car again. I walked over there, and i was shocked to see not one, but many of the kids from down the street in the car, but not only that, they all had luggage. "What the hell is going on here???" i exclaimed. I gathered that they were planning some sort of road trip or something to get away from their parents, i guess. I told them to get out of the car. I raised my voice a bit as i asked them, "What are you hoping to accomplish here? None of you can drive; you don't have a license; you don't have the keys--" one of them interjected here by handing me the keys to the car, which really freaked me out. However, i seemed to be accomplishing my goal as they were all filing out of the car and bringing their crap with them. One kinda fat kid was getting out, and he was right in front of my face, so i decided to try and make a lasting impression to avoid this situation again, and i yelled, "I SAID GET OUT!!!" right in his ear. As he scurried by, two cops walked up, and asked if there was a problem. I told them that i
thought i had everything under control. The kids had pretty much all left by now, and the cops asked me if we had ever had a problem with these kids before. I started to say, "no," but then i remembered a previous incident involving one of the kids (may have been the part earlier in this dream). They started examining the car, and i was shocked to see a bunch of wet towels and junk in the car. I thought they had taken all their crap with them. The cops helped me get it all out of the car, and some of the kids came back to retrieve their stuff. One of the things that remained in the car was a set of orange ski goggles. I told the cop that these were mine, but he seemed pretty suspicious for some reason. He asked me if the sunglasses were mine too, but i told him they weren't. I don't really remember what happened next, but for some reason, the name "Brooke Johnson" woke me up.

When i woke up, i immediately realized i forgot to set my alarm and jumped up to look at the clock (i need to set my alarm on mondays and fridays because my mom doesn't work those days, so she's not necessarily awake to wake me up). Luckily, it was only about 7:15, so i wasn't late for work or anything. Unfortunately, that left me with just 40 minutes or so to sleep, and after i had jumped out of bed so abruptly, i couldn't really get back to sleep. I tried anyway. As i was trying, I went back to the part in my dream about how the sun was taking a long time to go down, and i realized that it's going to take a lot longer next week. I thought to myself how the only good thing about Daylight Savings Time is when it ends. I also went back to yesterday when the mail lady said "it's gonna be a hot summer," and i thought of an alternate response i could've given other than what i did say (i made a joke about global warming). I came up with something like "Really? You think so? I hope not, because then i might have to quit." (Life in the warehouse last summer was hell, and now that we're on the sunny side of the parking lot, it'll probably be even worse this summer...especially if it's a "hot" summer as the mail lady suggested). I also thought about if my boss had heard me say this and if he would be offended, and then i'd have to tell him i was joking...but not really. This led me to think about if i really did quit and about life and money and how i'm never gonna have kids. It wasn't until later that i noticed the connection between my dream and the fact that i'm never gonna have kids.
I knew a Brooke Johnson.
