It once was when I was a kid…. “Ohhhh when my parents find out about this I’m going to get killed.”
Since my parents are both in heaven now they see everything I do. There isn’t any WHEN my parents find out about this. They can see it in live technicolor!
Last week my parents had front row seats when I was called to the principal’s office. Yes….that’s right I said LAST WEEK!
Last Wednesday an IT guy put a battery backup on my work computer. Thursday morning when I got into work at 5:15am I couldn’t open it up.
At 7:25am when I was on the phone with Mr Dungeons and Dragons I wasn’t a very good Christian.
….and right away my oldman let me know I was being an assclown. My mom was embarrassed which meant I just embarrassed my boss.
I didn’t handle myself well and I got called into my bosses office Friday morning.
I think it actually fell on the same date in 1981 when I was in the Principal’s office getting a dozen detentions. That day I was making farting noises in Father Turner’s Religion class.
I figured a loud fart would be suitable while we studied the acts of the apostles. Father Turner thought otherwise.
Nothing has changed but the distance from 1966. Just an older version of a Catholic school kid.
e.e. Cummins was right… I took the courage to grow up and be me. Still getting called to the principal’s office after all these years!
The lesson learned… don’t question the sleeping habits of the guy who fixes your computer! They have a right to stay up late and watch “Star trek.”
