I remember when I was a kid. My brother got some old packs of unopened baseball cards that had a little strip of the shittiest gum you can imagine in them.

They were pretty old.

He was like, hey you want this gum. I don't want it.

"Sure"

After chewing it, it never coalesced back into a gum. It just kind of became a paste.

I ate every bit of that gum.

This explains soooo much
 
I remember when my grandmother in the Bronx would tell me as a kid that if I ate sugar cubes I'd get worms.

(She never mentioned anything about a trip. Actually, the other grandmother did...but that's a different matter. I caught her smoking a joint with my aunt at my uncle's wake. Truth.)

"Almost time to get more bubble gum..."


It's funny, now that I look at the picture I'm reminded of how often my mother would buy clothes that I would have to grow into so she didn't have to shop as much.

Your mother did it wrong. We millennials buy clothes that fit so our kids look perfect for our social media posts. It results in everyone admiring our perfect social media life and necessitates our spending money on our credit cards to "build our credit." Building credit allows us to further spend more money than what we produce, allowing for our pretext to complain that our lives are complicated and that we need medication and counseling. This further justifies our hatred of Big Pharma and the medical industry because they are forcing us to pay for their drugs and services on our costly credit cards that are already maxed out...

All this to say: Elliot, I admire your mother through this picture.

I purposely cropped her out of the picture so nobody would admire her too much. (She was a looker, and she was 19 when I was born.)

Didn't want to have to kick anyone's ass unnecessarily. 👮‍♂️ ☺️


(That's "looker" with an L, for any of you deviants. 🤣)
