Groovy Man...


On our way home from Honey's, we pass the tattoo parlor and in front is a skinny man with a long black scraggly beard. Lil brother spies this interesting character and exclaims, "Das a hippie! DAS A HIPPIE!! I DUS SAW A HIPPIE!!!" And he is totally stoked. I mean to see your first hippie at the tender age of 7...well, not many have those braggin' rights.

Not to be outdone, big kid chimes in. "Yeah, well I've seen a hippie BUM. And he had a sign that said 'Live by the Bong! Die by the Bong!' " And we're all pretty impressed by that. And we all just kinda silently contemplate that rad' thought for a groovy beat or two...

Of course after all that money I spent to send big kid to our nation's capitol, nothing can top the hippie bum experience...figures. And of course lil brother now wants to see a hippie bum too... He can't wait til it's his turn to go on the 6th grade trip.
