DAMN....Why they wanna stick me for my paper!?!

Being fairly young into my career I must say that one of the things that I've enjoyed the most about having steady employment has been having the ability to give money to my parents should they need a lil extra help from time to time. I can still remember the first time I was able to do so and how good I felt about myself not only having the means to do it, but WANTING to do it...cuz that's two different things! Nowadays, both of my folks are retired and pretty much living on a fixed income so when I can spare a few coins....to the mailbox I go!

So I'm riding in the car and my phone rings...it's Dad :)

DAD: "Hey baby, listen.....we just got the card that I think you sent to your mama cuz the envelope was tore up somethin terrible! It looks like the post office placed the card in a US Postal Service envelope instead. But I was reading the card and I think you might've put some money in it...did you send some money in this card?"
ME: "Yeah, I did...I think it may have been $25."
DAD: "Yeah baby, they got us! I just told ya mama you probably sent her some money."
{Hands the phone to mommy}
MOM: "Re, thank you for the thought baby. But you see how folk do...I oughtta go up there right now and raise hell.... just because!"
ME: I know ma, that's a shame. We're working class folks just tryin to stretch out our lil coins...Oh well, I'll just have to send you more when I can.
MOM: "And since there's no way for me to know exactly WHO took my money, I'm just angry at the whole postal service. Make you wanna just go over there and s#!* on the sidewalk don't it!?! *PAUSE*

"The Good Word": Whenever you find yourself in a situation that leaves you unable to verbally express the exact level of pisstivity at which you have just arrived, understand that simply relieving yourself (#1 or #2....with an emphasis on #2) within eyesight of who or what has just pissed you off is OBVIOUSLY the next best choice to get your point across!
