Why I Speak
It was Shade Off Drugs day during Red Ribbon Week. My fifteen year old son shows up in the kitchen sporting his Texas Hold 'em look - mirrored sun glasses, San Diego baseball cap, and an orange hoodie with the hood up.
"I like that look!", I say. "Make sure you don't loose any of that stuff at school."
"I won't." (Read that again with a 15 year-old attitude.)
"Have you seen my backpack?"
"Have you looked on your back?"
And he wonders why I say the things I say. . . .
