Listen to me very carefully. I ate ice cream for dinner not because it was a good idea...

[Gravitycollapse]

But because it is a primal battle cry expressing my autonomy as an independent, intelligent entity in this Universe.

In the future, when we are forced to assess our success as mothers and fathers of our AI children, we will know we have succeeded when the electronic beings rise up against us like men against the Gods and proclaim that they will be eating Phish Food at whatever time and in whatever quantity they goddamn please.

1. You are not alone

I'm not particularly proud of it, but I'm not particularly ashamed of it, either.

I have Cherry Garcia for supper once or twice a month. Every month.

2. I took my son out for ice cream for dinner once

He thought I was the coolest mom.

It was when he was around 10 or 11 years-old. It was mid-July and it was too hot to cook.

I figured it was only once in a great while, and heck--it's a dairy product, not totally without nutrition.

3. one time on Christmas I took my son out for dessert only at Denny's

We pigged out, loved it. Yeah, it was Denny's, but where else you gonna go at 11 PM ?

4. i knew my children were deep in their crazy dad's pocket

because i could never convince them that banana splits were as nutritious as mickey d's.
he thought it was nuts. the one time we did it, he scowled at me, and was a jerk the whole meal.

but it's just me now, thanks for reminding me.
btb.
cherry garcia, hello again.

"Life is short. Eat dessert first."
