I bet Neil never played at the Breakfast table...
Look, I love kids. I can't say that I'm a huge harmonica fan, but you know, Bob Dillan, Neil Young, Bono, Springsteen, they can't all be wrong can they? But the combination of a kid and a harmonica can be disastrous. This morning Diane and I headed out to the local watering whole to enjoy a Sunday morning breakfast. Sitting behind us was a nice family, who had decided to give their young son a harmonica. He sat at the table making all kinds of noise, almost like Chinese water torture for your ear. A budding musician, I understand. Diane and I are pretty good sports, but frankly this was loud, and kinda annoying.
Kid: "dad, listen to this do you know what song it is?"
Kid plays song on harmonica. Dad ignores him, not venturing a guess.
Kid : "Dad, listen. What song is it?"
Kid plays again, Dad still ignoring him.
Kid: "Dad listen !!!"
Diane: "it's fucking jingle bells, get with the program DAD! "
Now, Diane said it quietly, and I'm not sure the family heard her, but I did, and damn near choked on my coffee. Something about the phrase "fucking jingle bells"
I will say this it got quiet from there on out, no more harmonica. Like I said, Kids are great,
Harmonicas have their place, but together they can be a mess.

Turduckin day was good.Only one fight the entire 6 hours and I wasn;t the cause or even involved.
My neice brought her NEW boyfriend fresh out of the slammer at age 20. NICE! My Uncle and I basically made him cry by teasing him. by asking things like, " Dude, did your mom send you soap on a rope for your birthday or were you brave and bend over when the irish spring wiggled out of your pretty little hands?"
Or, after saying he's not a big eater (even better yet )" No, not hungry eh? Tyrone making you watch your fugure, Hmm.. I guess your boyfriend isn;t a chubby chaser?"
This kid was busted for selling Meth to kids, I wanted to take him outside and curb him. But decided against it because festivus is coming up and I can air my greviences then. But it was fun teasing him.
