GOD BLESS SOCIAL NETWORKS. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU VIEW A PERSON’S DESCENT INTO ALCOHOLISM, FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN RISE IN OFFSPRING? I KNOW PEOPLE WHO’S PROFILE PIC WAS THEM FUNNELING BEER ONE WEEK, THE NEXT WAS THEM AND THEIR NEW BABY. KEEP SEARCHIN’ AND YOU’LL FIND PASSED OUT FATHERS AND MOTHERS USED AS CANVASES FOR PERMANENT MARKER. SOME OF THOSE DRAWINGS WERE DONE ROUGHLY TO SCALE… SOME WERE TRACED.
THIS ISN’T NEW. NO. I REMEMBER SEEING A PIC OF MY MOTHER PLASTERED. LAUGHED MY ASS OFF. IT, HOWEVER, WAS ONE POLAROID IN AN OLD FAMILY ALBUM TUCKED AWAY IN OUR LIVING ROOM.
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. IF AND WHEN I HAVE KIDS, I SEE THEM BEING LITTLE SMART ASSES. PERHAPS ONE OF THEM WILL BASE A SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT ON HIS FATHER’S SKETCHY, WHISKEY SOAKED PAST. THE OTHER WOULD SELL LEMONADE AND VODKA ON OUR FRONT LAWN. “WELL, DAD, IF YOU GOT TO DO IT, HOW COME I CAN’T?” HOW CAN YOU SAY NO TO THAT?
You must have one of the most interesting perspectives out there Ben… very funny!
