MY DAD THE PHILOSOPHER

Saturday Nights are Family Nights! I go to mom and dad's and hang out and eat dinner. Ashley comes over and we usually watch House Hunters on HGTV. Joseph usually has steak and so does Ashley, and I usually have chicken. Anywho... I was watching TV with Poppers, aka dad and a commercial for a credit card came on. The woman told her husband that they needed a new TV. Instantly this song came on with lyrics that go something like this, "I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now!" My dad then says, "This is the song of a new generation."

I thought wow my dad is right, it's so true, that is how everything is! Wow dad what a deep thinker you are! Wow, maybe my dad is the new Socrates or some other famous thinker! Needless to say I looked at my dad a little differently.

Then Monday Night I was talking to my mom and the same commercial came on. I told her what dad said and how I was really impressed with his assessment of culture today. She laughed and told me that she had commented on the commercial on Friday night to dad. So basically poppers had just repeated what mom had said the night before.

So maybe my dad isn't Socrates, but I love him! And it is still true, our generation wants it all and now!
