What is wrong with this country? No, besides Bush and his Oil Cadre forcing some people to work harder for less money and invading other countries. I'm talking about the kids, the children. Tonight at the shop, I offered a young man of about 8 or so whose parents were dining next door a few free comics. No big deal, we get lots of books that there's tons of downstairs and we pitch them at kids. Gets them hooked young. First hit's free. I insist, tell him there's no catch. He tells me his mom doesn't let him talk to strangers. THEN WHY IS HE BY HIMSELF IN A SHOP? Anyway, he leaves and tells his mother, who comes in to bitch me out about offering her kid comics.
I want to say "Oh, fuck you, lady."
I do not. I know I have a few friends with kids out there and I have this warning - let your kids take free things from people who are in a public area like a store that sells those things. Back in my day, I'd have kneed a man in a groin if he'd offered me free things and taken the whole lot. Your kids are behaving a little too well now. (And I probably woulda socked him in the family jewels if he'd offered me candy to get in a black van, too.)
I've been getting these phone calls from a Potato Council out of Oregon. You guys kill me. Love you all.
