cruel & unusual

dear crackers and milk diary,

when i got in trouble when i was a kid- and my mom wasn't home- my dad would make me eat milk and crackers and send me to my room to wait til my mom got back. my dad will sit down and eat that shit as a meal to this day- i cant stand it. i never even once suggested my boys eat crackers and milk- for any reason. i've wanted to dump milk over their heads a few times- but i never did. maybe i should have. nah, i couldn't have produced two more perfectly rounded young men if ida belted or choked them daily. i did get it all wrong tho- the one i figured would be on honor roll- isn't- and the one i never thought would be on honor roll isn't either- he's on HIGH honor roll- for the last two years straight. they never did half the stupid shit i did- i always wondered why that was. prolly cuz i never made them eat milk and crackers when i got mad.
