Joker Is Only Forty

Joker had never weighed his options before.
His parents always made the decisions.
But he was forty now, and they finally trusted him.
They went on vacation and told him to do his best.
He stared at his decisions for a week, not making any.
Because he had no experience taking care of himself.
Afterall, he is only forty.

Oh dear. Poor guy...hmmm...I don't know. Sounds like an entitled cripple to me.

I feel sorry for these children who have to stay at home and be their parents' baby to suit the needs of entitled parents.
