Stick a fork in me
I think I might be dead. Or that I've become my dad. No really. Cause I never thought I'd have a gut. I like to wear my shirts untucked for this reason. I also get up everyday and go to work. And I wear Dockers Khakis and Polo Shirts to work. And I've been married for sixteen years. And I've been a homeowner for fourteen years. And I have a ten year old son. And I went to an Open House tonight for his elementary school. And I'll be going to yet another parent teacher conference. And I'm watching my son learn to play drums (like I did) and skateboard (like I did) and I'm watching him get sweaty on summer days while playing with his buddies. And I go on family vacations with my wife and son and while driving in the car I say things like 'turn the stereo down' and 'don't make me pull over' and 'we'll be there before you know it'. And I've mowed my own lawn now at least 392 times. And I take the dog for her baths and take out the trash and sneak smokes in the alley. I work with people who are young enough to be my children, and granted, old enough to be my fathers, but still. I mean, I actually give my son allowances for doing chores! So I'm either dead, or I'm my dad. I'm not sure which yet.
