Girls Just Want to Have Fun

     Cyndi thought she knew what she was talking about, and hey maybe she still does. But I don't think it's true. As a girl I believe that fun is a priority, but it's not all I want to have. How about a dog, new shoes, a boyfriend to cut my grass? Did she ever think of those things? 
    Probably all beside the point anyway. You can't have it all. If I only had fun I would never be able to afford a dog or new shoes. Let alone catch a man. So right there, that is where we as girls start making sacrifices. Do I want that new pair of boots or do I want to go have "fun" Saturday night? If I buy those boots I won't be able to afford that dog at the pound which sucks the "fun" from that adventure. So which one do you choose?
     I think to be able to choose we'd have to define "fun." An abstract opinion word that will never be agreed upon. So readers, what is fun? 
     Here in the dixie land I wonder I am obligated to choose the "fun" that leads to a husband, 2 kids and a dog? This place that tells me I need a man to validate my existence. A place where I receive scowls when I say "I don't want to have children."  Does any of that sound "fun" to you? I am sure for some people it does, and there is nothing wrong with that. But why must my birthplace set such standards that I never wish to achieve?
    I guess the best way to say it is Cyndi was half right, girls just want to have different kinds of fun. I don't really have a conclusion this is more just food for thought. What does it truly mean that girls just want to have fun. Can girls of the south pave their own way in the world or must we seek out our true love and procreate?
