Stop Being Such A (Soda) Jerk

After I wrote the brilliantly stimulating prose regarding bathroom tokens of a few days ago, I just had to send my cousin the link. In a reply email, I had to laugh. And heard my Dad laughing in reply.

In fact, there have been times when I've been around my cousins and aunt when they'll say I even laugh like my Dad.

Same - Exact - Intonation.

So in her reply, she told me about the version she'd heard from her dad, but instead of paying a nickel, it was a bit more graphic. And I won't share that, uh, BM word here.

And a comment about my Old Man Talk.

She said "Yeah, and no one says fountain drinks anymore!"

Pretty much cemented the fact that I am my father's son.

Didn't see that coming.
