Everybody’s a critic
So there we were, at dinner, and to the surprise of no one at all, Number One Son says something that was, by any definition, highly inappropriate. What it was, precisely, is not relevant to our story.
NOS: [Highly inappropriate and disturbing remark]
BUMD: “Son, that’s not appropriate. You need to learn ….” And here, I paused, trying to think of how to phrase this message. After a pause of perhaps 20 seconds, I gave up. It’s been a long week.
BUMD: “Do you know what? Never mind.”
Reigning Queen of Pink: “Dad!!! What the hell kind of pep talk was THAT? You really suck at this!”
Thanks, kid.
SOBUMD was howling with laughter.
I can’t WAIT to be a grandfather. My kids are going to be SO frightened to bring their kids to Grandma and Grandpa’s house….
!!! Very funny.
Okay, now I’m howling with laughter, too. And hey, you did all right. At least you didn’t say, “Ah, screw it.” (Or words to that effect.) ;-)
good thing I’m *not* wearing mascara! rotflmao
