    Got a Plan B.1, Pig, of which your mother can approve?

    He should’ve stuck with that plan of floating away on a balloon.

    On the up side, at least she’s happy it’s Plan B.

    I’m too old for a Plan B. Luckily for me, my Plan A, timing, and luck all worked out well.

    You can’t launch your kids. They have to do it themselves. Sometimes though, it’s hard to watch.

    Being backwards, I did plan B first then later did Plan A.

    Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.00, forget the low hanging fruit, go directly to plan “B”.

    Plan A.1 – go to a mediocre school, manage to graduate, work in a dead-end middle management job all your life and hope you have enough at the end to afford a certified nursing home.

    Success in Plan A can prove elusive, no matter what you accomplish.

    Those are legitimate concerns of Moms. Some of us get those smart mouth replies caused by one of those bad genes coming direct from dear old Dad. Even when no longer in this world if you get a sharp stab of pain, maybe gas, that’ll be us telling you to stand up straight, don’t wear that loser outfit and that’s enough beer for you. Rat and Pastis were fortunate enough to have those kind of Moms and deep down they know.

    Get born, keep warm

    Short pants, romance, learn to dance

    Get dressed, get blessed, try to be a success

    Please her, please him, buy gifts

    Don’t steal, don’t lift

    Twenty years of schoolin’ and they put you on the day shift.

    Pig tried to get a job not too long ago. He just failed at giving too much info

    Yeah, “Go to a good school” and end up with crippling student debt which negates the effect of Part Two of Plan A and so precludes part three of Plan A.

    I think for many people they have Plan B and Plan A reversed.

    No mom likes that Plan B, Pig. You’ve gotta keep it all positive with the momster! She needs to be proud of her boy!

    Graduate from high school. Learn to do something that makes you money so you can support yourself. Doesn’t have to be a fancy college. Just do a job where you can grow. Save as much as you can. Do all this before you even think about having children and I guarantee any parent will be proud! Even Pig’s mom.

    Ever talk to a gen Z member? seems like half of them will look at you with a straight face and say that their plan B is a shotgun in the mouth
