I used to listen to that song every Thanksgiving on the way to my mom's house, but my daughter won't let me anymore.

Lol as if i ever could have stopped my dad from playing it. He would wait till we were all in the car then turn it way up, only way to get him to turn it down was to take all our headphones off and listen quietly

I'm a softie. Also, there's only so much complaining I want to deal with.

If you turn the volume up then you can't hear the complaining. Non compliance is met with more watts. Old man ears are callous to extreme loud and can tolerate it better than any child and most woman. This is how i was raised. I also have tinnitus, so i too am become callous eared.

? why not? It's hilarious. My fam is all prior service or active military and we still laugh our asses off at the recruiting (MEPS) scene.

is there something I've missed about Guthrie etc? Happens, I adored Shel Silverstein until I heard the sequel to A Boy Named Sue...

Because she's a teenager and they're grumpy when they're made to go somewhere for some stupid Thanksgiving and have a stupid dinner with stupid relatives.

oh for a moment I was like.... "shit what have I missed this time?" lol

good luck; I have a 13 old who's sarcastic eye roll is fucking lethal, like, multiple teachers have commented.

Someone mentioned to me the other day: nothing I can mess up in this kid's life (within reason) will be worse than the climate apocalypse coming. So enjoy this time.

Yeah. Fuck. But ok.
