RE: The Kids Are Angry

We built our life on credit cards and overtime, promising each other that next year would be different. Next year, we'd have more time.

This reminds me of the story of The Grey Gentleman (Momo). I loved it at school and read it with my own children. Do you know it?

Wow! No I didn't know about it, but I really like the premise.
I might just read it!

Thanks for the suggestion =)

tldr;

Momo discovers that the gray men are like time-stealing thieves who need to smoke cigars made of stolen time just to exist!

I thoroughly recommend it. It's a take on this crazy rat race that is done so well it even makes children look at things differently. The children in the story even get swept up in it all as their time gets stolen away by school life.
