Parents Just Don’t Understand
“Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?”
“Talking to my agent.”
“Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?”
“He has a new assistant, but she doesn’t know who you are. I think that makes five. No, six, counting the one who thought you were Luke Perry.”
“And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?”
“He asked me to reconsider. Said it was a great gig, everyone would be in town for the convention, lots of exposure. Said I couldn’t keep living off your royalties, and I certainly can’t live off mine.”
“Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?”
“Some dude named McBeth, runs a factory-food trade group. He flashed a roll of hundreds at me, said he knows people who know people. I told him what you told me, but without the mumbling. He said he was sorry to hear that.”
“Oh, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?”
“Thanks to you, I’m stuck with weddings all summer. The gig went to Styx.”
