ReplyDeletePops snapped! Obviously the keywords here are Adult Son. Pops is still letting the little prick live with him or can't get rid of him (ask me, I know). We love our children but when they're almost 28 and don't want to work or abide by your rules, then shoot them. It's all clear to me. ;) I think I've snapped.
ReplyDeletewell i for am glad to hear we still have ballzy ppl here in my U. S. of A.. It reminds me when i first moved to the eastern mtns of Kentucky back in the early 80s. I had not been there a week an heard on the radio where one brother shot the other 5 times in the chest for using the last of the toilet paper in the outhouse. I enjoyed 3 years of living there. No problems with ppl who can tell it like it is and mean it. A trait i have tried to maintain my entire life.

ReplyDeleteSteve's an old high school friend of mine, Bella. We reconnected a few years ago - I was surprised he turned out to be semi-respectable.
