Overheard yesterday at The Nightingale.
“I may have been a bad person. The things I done to my wife. The gambling, the drinking. But I’m not a bad person for wanting him to eat his carrots.”
Later. . .
“He don’t go out. He don’t drink. He don’t smoke. He don’t gamble. As far as I’m concerned, he’s dead.”
I think the first quote was about his daughter getting angry at how he talked to his grandchild and the 2nd was about his son-in-law.
Wonder what Sunday dinner is like at that house. . .

Not that I think that anyone would be silly enough to steal my ramblings, but in case you may be thinking about it. . . the very act of my writing this means that I own the copyright. Really. Look it up.
So, please don't plagiarize. It just ain't cool. And what I say just isn't that interesting. Trust me. Most of my friends don't even read this.
That being said, I do subscribe to the T.S. Eliot philosophy of "Immature poets borrow, mature poets steal." There is a difference between Stealing and stealing. . . This is not to say that I am mature. If anything. . . I'm rambling aren't I? That's what I do. I ramble. So, yeah. I'll shut up now.

No, I would agree. He’s not a bad man for the carrots. I guess. Unless he made the poor kid sit there all evening in front of cold, congealing poorly cooked carrots.
