What should I do to Walt

:S Good kid... Bad walt.



Yes, I am bad. But that's not news.

When her kids told me they didn't like swear words, somehow it just made me cringe! This is not normal at all! Well, at least for me it's not.

I started mentally preparing a speech to give them so I could do some "rehabilitation".

"Yes, boys, swear words are a good thing. I like to start off the day with a swear word or two. Most days, I'll even shoot the finger at the first person I see! (and so on)"

After a while, though, I realized that it would do no good. Alas, these kids are very well trained.

When I was in high school a friend had a bratty little kid brother who was three years old. Being a real wiseass, I taught him to shoot the finger and he picked it up almost as he had been genetically designed to flip people off with the kind of style and grace befitting an outlaw biker!

I was pleased. Very pleased.

His mom, on the otherhand was not quite so pleased.

Mom was very high-strung and had the kind of frazzled nerves that comes with having six boys. Yes. Count 'em. Six. Nearly all of them hellions. I take that back ALL of them were hellions in their own special way.

That very evening at the family dinner table, my little protege was told to eat his vegetables or something like that.

Seeing the opportunity to step up to the plate and show the world who he really was, he responded with one simple gesture. He shot the finger at Mom.

Not just a little bit. A lot. A WHOLE lot. Thankfully I wasn't there, but from what I heard there are few flags that wave more proudly than he was waving that finger at Mom. High and proud.

Mom was very displeased. She told him, "Take that down!!!"

Did he? Hell no!!! Mom slapped him. For real! He still didn't take it down.

"Take that down!!!"

Once again. He continued to wave his freak flag high and got slapped again.

Seeing that he was dealing with overwhelming odds, he finally relented.

"Who taught you that?!!!!"

Unfortunately, his brothers had taught him their favorite variant on my name.

"Wal-turd!"

They had also taught him a few choice words, which he laid right on Mom.

Poor little fucker got slapped again for that and I had come to be viewed in very unkind terms in that household. I had gotten blamed for all of it.

It took her years to forgive me for that and I'm not entirely sure that she has completely.

I feel kind of good about it though. It's like the saying. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Flip a kid off, he gets an attitude for a day. Teach a kid to flip the world off and he has an attitude for a lifetime.

Walt
