(Too) Rich Kid
by Martin Steffens & Gurth

"Hey, what do you mean, like, I don't know what tough is?
Like, it's easy living the way I do, you know? You don't know
just, like, how hard my life really is, you know? Like, your
dad's constantly hassling you about, like, your future, and
your mom's always, you know, out to her office for, like,
work, you know? And then, like, your little sister's stealing
your clothes, and like, never gives them back, and then I
haven't even mentioned, like, boyfriends, you know?
"And like, what should I wear to the prom next week? I still
haven't, like, decided to buy that gorgeous Final Highlights
or that beautiful, like, Collection Challice dress. I wanted
to wear the Avenue I bought for like, really expensive, but
then that, that_Dorothy had one too, you know?! And then
maybe, like, some cosmetic surgery_(sigh) Decisions, decisi-
ons, decisions."

Commentary: Yep, and you thought they only existed on the
trid_Beverly Models 90012, Incr, that sort of trash. But to
your surprise (and shock, perhaps), you found out they really
exist! Her mom and dad have more money than they'll ever
spend, let alone than you'll see in the rest of your lifetime,
she's living in a 1,000 m^2 apartment in Madison Park, and then
she's talking about the hardships of life. And worst of all,
she wants to run the shadows_
Like, you know?
