Big Boy Takes a Dukey




A couple weeks ago, I overheard J talking to his parents in their biannual phone
call. I was in the other room reading a book.

J:  Yeah, I’m just hanging out.  Danielle went to bed a while ago.

Me: ??

J parents: wahwaheahwah

J: I’ll let you go soon. I have to get up at 4 for work.

J parents: wahwahwahwah

J: No, she’s not going to work now.

Me: (What is he talking about?  I’m online teaching)

J parents: wahwahwah

J: (sighs) . Don’t worry. I am going to put all the kids to bed after I hang up, and then I’m going straight to bed. Thanks for calling.

*slow claps*

J continues his 20 year tradition of burning up the lines to his folks and writhing in emotional agony. 

Don't fix what ain't broken, amirite?
