That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. Well I feel your pain. My parents tell me not to walk on the grass. and I'm always like "its grass, if not to walk on it, what is the purpose of it?" or "its grass, get over it." but then again maybe I am not the one to ask. I stopped listening to my parents at the age of 15, and I'm 22 now. I frequently go out to bars and what not until all hours of the night, sometimes not coming home for days at a time. its all part of the lifestyle. I think you parents are majorly uptight, to not let you go out past like 10:30 regardless of what you are doing. What are you like 12??? Are they going to impose a bed time on you next? personally I would just go, and if they were my parents and questioned me about it. I would tell them "i had to leave the womb sometime." but then again I am a smartarse.
edit: you could also take the logical approach. tell them parents impose rules to protect their children, because they feel that their children can't take care of themselves. Tell than that at the age of 18 you turned in an adult in the eyes of the law and the community at large. Ask them if they feel that you are not capable of taking care of yourself, or what the problem is that they would impose an assinine provision like this on you. assure them that you are more than capable of self preservation and that its not like you are out getting in trouble. Tell them that you respect that fact that they care, but that you feel this is completely unjustified. and further more ask them why they feel the need to impose on your physical fitness regime. Is it not good to work out and play badmitten? sometimes this approach will work as well
