Differences.

This was inspired by my best friend Mackenzie. We went and picked up our schedules yesterday, got lunch, and had to come back for our college credit course review test( ridiculously easy). Then Mac saw that her guy Matt was also taking the test.

 

So we went and got tea in Shelby( my new Honda Fit!) at Starbucks. Matt texted Mac so we went and picked him up and then we all went to his house where we watched House( fantastic show).

Matt's dad came home about 5 minutes after we got there and finally met Mackenzie for the first time. They seemed to get along pretty well. But the odd thing was Matt's dad kept calling me Mackenzie...so I assumed he just wasn't good with names.

 

Mackenzie talked to me this morning and the story was rather more interesting than i'de assumed.

Matt's dad is a pastor and Mackenzie is an atheist. Matt's dad is used to him dating the typical popular, attractive, but shallow, highschool girl. So the whole time we were at the house Matt's dad assumed Matt was talking about liking me, when honestly he is quite devoted to Mackenzie. Just because I was dressed nicely( heels, new shirt, nice jeans, curled hair) and Mackenzie was just wearing a tank top and jeans with sneakers, her dad assumed Matt would like me.

 

Apparently Matt's parents were confused as to why he liked Mackenzie and not me.

 

I found this rather upsetting. Mackenzie is my best friend. She is a wonderfully intelligent, eccentric, and beautiful person who is so full of a love for all that is life. And just because she wasn't Matt's "typical" kind of girl his parents weren't that fond of her. It's so strange how some can be so narrow minded.

Matt plainly told his parents he was tired of being the typical highschool quarter back...dating cheerleaders and dating only for appearance. Matt found a wonderful person. And neither Mackenzie nor Matt should have to give up what they might have for such superficial reasons.

 

Sorry the pictures small. I accidentally saved a small version :/
