You know the old saying….if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with. Rollo and I were sitting around one day complaining about our parents.  Flashback….this was a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago.  One of us was still in school….that’s how long ago it was. Let me backtrack.  We have a cousin who is no better than worthless.  She’s 39, will never keep a job, and has 4 kids that her parents raise.  She goes to jail to keep from having to get a job or be responsible for anything.  The list is endless…..just know she’s worthless.  My aunt was fussing at Rollo about something and Rollo said that our parents didn’t appreciate us.  THEY COULD HAVE HAD WORTHLESS INSTEAD…..but they didn’t.  They had good kids who went to school, worked hard, never went to jail, weren’t on drugs, didn’t have a house full of kids that we weren’t taking care of.  You get the gist……we were good girls.

I remember talking to my mother one day and at some point in the conversation I told her that she should be happy with the daughter she had because SHE COULD HAVE HAD A CHILD LIKE WORTHLESS.  She didn’t get it.  She said something completely off base and it just flew over her head.

My point…….appreciate what you have or go get something/someone/a situation that you WILL appreciate.  You like your sister’s meatloaf so damn bad…..you should have married her.  But since you didn’t….appreciate the woman that  thought enough of your crank ass to even make you some damn meatloaf.  You admire the way Sister Jones sings in the choir.  Then marry Sister Jones ass.  Otherwise, if you’re not going to compliment the woman you DID marry on her singing…..just be quiet.  You don’t have to comment at all ya know?  You like the dedication your ex had to working out?  You know what I’m about to say……you should have married her treadmill ass.  It might not even be too damn late to do that.  But don’t sit up and tell my girl how you wish she worked out like your ex did because when she tells me about it I’mma advise her to hit you in the damn head with a brick……you unappreciative ass.

Nothing irks me more than to hear somebody rave over what someone else has done and not show appreciation for the shit they have at home.  If you’re not going to appreciate your wife’s meatloaf then AT LEAST be decent enough to stop talking about your sister’s.

Jackass.
