Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for November 03, 2023

Smart aleck brat. I’d call him from whatever he’s doing and hope he was in the middle of something in order to move it to the closet.

No question from Tony, so: Do you give clear instructions?

Clear enough to accept the results. Even if I’m not clear.

I was home from college and hadn’t had a haircut all school year. My father looked at me and said “You need a haircut. Go get one.” I got a shag haircut (at least it wasn’t a mullet). I could tell by the look on his face that it wasn’t what he expected, but he didn’t say anything. ;-)

Do you hang your clothes?

Only to dry them. But never on a chandelier (we don’t even have any).

Looks like Elliot, lie his father, isn’t the sharpest tack in the world.

Had I been a smart aleck like that, my backside would have been sore.

Better let Mom handle this one it would seem……

Specify, Don’t Imply.

Elliott did as he was told. Now that’s a good thing.

If not understood the first time, repeat and try again with more clarity. Sometimes I don’t understand what my audience doesn’t understand.

The slow burn……..
