Well I figure that Thanksgiving Day is pretty much the same no matter whose home you're in so I will not discuss the happenings. However there is something that is fast becoming commonplace. When I stand up to go to the john (sorry Puckett), nobody ever claps and cheers for me. When I drink from a cup or use a fork to eat with, I never get shouts of acclamation. And when I pick at my toes there isn't a soul in the room impressed at my ability. So then why do babies get all the hype? I can do things much better and faster than Janna, yet nobody really ever seems to notice. It's not that I am jealous, perhaps just a bit under appreciated. I have been doing the self-service bathroom thing for almost 15 years now and do I ever get a "way to go man!"? No sir, I do not.
Now I only bring all this up for fear that sooner rather than later our world will become one where there will be no real achievement. No real acts of triumph. To borrow an idea from Mr. Incredible, since when did rewarding mediocrity become the thing to do? Now I am not saying that that verbal abuse is the way to go. I am just recognizing the fact that going into the back bedroom to take a dump in your pants is not the most impressive thing in the world. Perhaps we should save the clapping for when they walk out to the garage and throw it away, wash their hands, and make me a sandwich themselves. That's all I'm sayin'.............
