Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 28, 2025

Nice boy, but he doesn’t know a thing.

Comes with age!

It’s how Ralph stared down his opponents in his pro wrestling days.

Easy, have kids who constantly try you.

You can’t even tie your shoes, you dolt.

“Now I know why tigers eat their young”. Rodney Dangerfield

Nope… You gotta be a Dad to get into the club!

And teenagers!

Lift one eyebrow, and stare.

It’s not just the look. It’s the accompanying attitude. Which you can’t have until you’ve lived long enough to have seen too much.

Glare de loon.

That’s what I look like when I’m about to sneeze!

It’s easy. I do it all the time. Actually, way too much.

Raise a son like you and you’ll develop a glare.

Don’t settle for Dad’s, get Mom to teach you, it’s much more effective.

I suspect the prerequisite for developing that ability is having offspring of one’s own.

I have the glare, but it’s usually oncoming headlights at night, the blue headlights are the worst.
