| he might be the
only kid who has guts these days i don't know. but he and i have this little war going on because he likes to come by the window and scream whenever i'm making dinner or just sitting down with the radio and drink. he's done this twice. the first time i shouted back out at him and he ran away. the second time i put my clothes on like a drunken lunatic and went casing the neighborhood for him while my wife followed me slowly to make sure i didn't get my ass kicked. but i keep a pair of shoes in each room for if and when he tries a third time. the kid sure has guts but i've been an asshole longer than he has so i know i have the upper hand whenever he chooses to renew our dirty, little war. |
