With Good Reason

my dad was a vietnam vet, so.

the other day my mom and I were sitting in the waiting room for her joint doctor, surrounded by old people whose joints had also been replaced with metal. A Very Old Man walks by with a walker and a nurse carrying his oxygen supply. He is wearing a world war II veteran’s hat. I looked at my mom and assured her that had my dad still been alive, I would have made him wear one of those damn war vet hats as an old man. It would have embarrassed the crap out of him.

We had a good laugh at his expense. :)
