Someday the two of you will need come to terms with the fact
that your Daddy was more than capable of dropping a few f-bombs when occasion
seemed fitting. And today was such a fitting occasion.
Daddy has had some serious dental issues to contend with
recently (frankly for all his lifeL),
and today he had a scheduled consultation with an oral surgeon—the consequence
of that consultation was news that Daddy needed to come up with $4400.00 in the
coming weeks to cover a needed oral surgery!
Daddy has never been one to sugar coat the propaganda we
sometimes embrace in our culture, perhaps all cultures, that defy the reality
of life for the average person, and this particular health crisis and some
related ones recently, have brought Daddy to a near rage over the class
inequities in our society for health care needs of its citizens---and this in
an acknowledged context that Mommy and Daddy have it far better than most
folks!
Oh well, Daddy will avoid the literal employment of the
f-word/f-bomb in attempting to spare the two of you grown-up business, though
of course Daddy understands that someday when the two of you have time and
inclination to take a stroll along your Mellow Brick Road, you will
presumptively be old enough to better comprehend why on occasions Daddy was not
very goddamn mellow.
