That rarely lasts forever. Once you're past your teenage years, you will likely have to work to stay in shape just like every other adult.

Food and utilities are free when you're 12.

No civil rights though. Whenever I'm grounded I'm deprived of liberty AND property.

When you get in a fight you're grounded.

When I get in a fight I go to jail.

That's called life, deal with it. Unless you're God almighty himself someone will always be in charge of you.

Fleenook, quit while you're ahead. Unless you live in poverty right now, you've got a pretty easy life at 12.

And also, fat is what makes bacon nommy. The actual meat is too burnt to have any taste.
