Have you ever found yourself saying things that you swore and be damned as a kid that you would never ever say? Its inevitable.. When you reach a certain age you eventually become the people that as a kid you feared the most.. YOUR PARENTS!!! Man, when I was a kid I heard all kinds of crap, mostly I caught it over the music that I chose to listen to, or if I let my hair get a little too long I would hear shit like “Gee son, Your becoming the Daughter that I always wanted!” I remember once when I had bought a new Aerosmith album,It was an album called “ROCKS” I don’t remember the tune off hand but the incident is still clear as a bell, I was sitting in my bedroom and the stereo was cranked up to eleven, I had the air guitar going and my head was bouncing all over the joint, hair was flying every which way, man I was rockin out! And then I look up and there’s my mom… standing silently in the doorway with her arms folded in front of her chest…. She’d snuck up on me like an apache war chief…“BOY?? What in the bloody hell is wrong with your head? Why is it floppin around like that?” She had her own special one word question that applied to every strange little act of self rebellion that I engaged myself in, One word Stretched out into one long syllable that applied to every single thing that I did, WHAAAAAAAT??? Whenever I heard that one long word, I knew that there was something about me that she simply didn’t get.. Now fast forward to the year 2006 just a few short hours ago, Three in fact.. I’m coming back from the store and this little white truck pulls up,, and they got the bass cranked up to thirteen.. Some kind of Rap music I think.. Really LOUD Rap music… with Heavy bass.. BOOM BOOM THUMP!! BA BA BOOM BOOM THUMP! Right then and there I knew I was in trouble.. When the music stopped and my ears quit bleeding I looked at the driver of the truck and said WHAAAAAAAAAT??????…..Scratch…
