My father was a ponderer.
Well, more of a wonderer actually.
He’d do something that wouldn’t turn out as expected and he’d wonder…
What the hell just happened?
Why’s this shit always happening to me?
What the fuck, am I cursed?
How come the people that say they’re so smart don’t come and help me?
What the fuck, a man gotta get down on his knees for a bit of assistance?
Jesus Christ, why come down on a feller who’s trying?
I got kids to feed here for christ’s sake!
Don’t anyone notice a damn man trying?!

Yep. Old pops did lots of conversing after the fact.
He was a great reflector.
Shining the light of responsibility on everyone else.

Dad, why don’t we…
“DAD NOTHIN! THIS AIN’T WE IT’S ME! AND YOU GUYS ARE HERE TO HELP!”
