Barbecue This

I don’t like them

Boring people with boring lives

Playing how great is my kid

Or worse

Let’s compare lives

I have a boat, I have a Porsche, I have a truck

So do I, so do I, so do I.

Let me tell you about my new business, sports apparel, made in the Philippines, it’s cheaper there.

Gonna make good money.

Oh great, we nod, we lie

Is it time to go yet?
No.

Then pour me another drink.

He whispers, Why are you so quiet?

I’m nicer that way.

But people will think you are stuck up.

Your first mistake is assuming I give a shit what they think.

Can’t you at least try?

Fuck. Fine.

Leaning forward…

So, this business, your sports apparel, did you choose the Philippines because it’s easier to get away with a sweat shop full of child labor there?

Suddenly my husband decides it’s time to go after all…

….

Tool.
