It is just beginning!



Day of Days!

Notable events at my Thanksgiving:
One guest drinking straight out of a bottle of Wild Turkey bourbon.
That same guest showing me dog hair on an hors d'ouevre cracker while I am eating said snacks.
That same guest opeing the faux champagne without a towel over the dining room floor.
Me not believing he wasn't invited somewhere else.
I do like this person, I just never knew how quickly his playfulness could become malevolent.
I had pretty good day, I went home after Spiderman 2 was over.




Here's what really gets me, those kids with bowl cuts who repeatedly show up in movies and television. Quick examples: Nicholas from Eight is Enough. Jonathan from Who's the Boss. Max from Liar, Liar. The boy twins from Full House. Oliver from The Brady Bunch.



What is so damn cute about these haircuts?
Why does this style defy the ages?
This toe head Beatles homage spans American entertainment history.
Can't children be cute in some other way? What am I missing? Bring back baseball hats jeans with a hole in the knee.

It's just as another example of adults using children as their pawns.
It's not quite as sick as using your child to block an abortion clinic or a human shield.
But sick like........ not getting any marketable skills of your own to earn a living besides forcing your kid to go from audition to audition.
I hope kid has more than a public record of cutesy haircuts when he turns 18.
Things I hope this kid doesn't have by his 21st year:
Alocoholism.
More illegitemate children than the L.A. Lakers.
Familiarity with more than 5 types of narcotics.
A rap sheet.
A guest spot on Ellen-Where have I been since Liar Liar?
A commercial for a chain of check cashing stores.
An inoperable tumor.
The need for serious life counseling.
A divorce.
A 3 digit bank account.
An offer to be in a porn movie.
What can I say?
The holidays make me a caring person.
