Back in Black
Parents work hard for their families, their children. I've gone through 20+ years of education to get a job that feeds, clothes and houses them. Have driven (or coached) them to thousands of sports practices. Trips to the urgent care. Presents for Christmas (oh crap I really need to finish that for this year--thank you Amazon Prime!) and the millions of other things we do to provide for them.
But does that make us "cool" in their eyes? No. We're like indoor plumbing....always been there, never fails.
However, bring home daddy's black Fender Stratocaster guitar, plug it in to daddy's Vox amp and thrash out Back in Black for the boys? Yeah, suddenly I'm seeing jaws dropping and eyes widening. Who knew it was so easy to get a grudging "yeah, that's pretty cool, Dad?"
Life's lessons continue to amaze.
