Sometimes when I am watching one of those real video shows and I see some poor schmo get it in the nuts, I cringe a little more and laugh a little less. Sure they are funny and I do laugh, but I find myself wondering how long it took for that person to heal. There is a video out there called 'gangster gets hit by an ice cream truck'. This video is hilarious. And when I was done laughing so hard that I cried, I wondered, did that dumb ass go to the hospital or not?
We are all affected by the news. Some people hug their loved ones a little more, some people get a security system, some people purchase a firearm, and still some people go whole hog and buy 50 acres of land in colorado, an armory of weapons, a gas generator, cases of MRE's (military, meals ready to eat), gas masks, port-a-potties, and thousands of dollars in gold coins. Now we have all met these people and I am not here to judge, but everyone handles their fear differently.
I know I am being a real downer, and you want to know if this is the last of the fatdad blogs before I implode, and you wonder why you wasted all of this time reading what I have written. Just follow along, I have a really good story to wrap all of this up and if you quit now you will just kick yourself.
When I was a child it seemed like there were all of these stories about kids being kidnapped. The stories were heart breaking. Soon after we were all inundated with missing child shows, stories, ribbons, and eventually the missing child milk carton.
Ok here is your story.
My grandmother was a very important part of my life and probably the only reason that I came out as normal as I did, and that is a stretch believe me.
I remember we were driving somewhere, because we were always driving somewhere. My grandmother was always very interested in how I felt about things, and we talked a lot. As I said the news of the day was very much about missing children, and she wanted to know how I felt about it. She asked if I knew about the kidnappings, and asked a few other questions. I don't know if I gave her the answer she was looking for, but when we were done talking she looked at me and said, "Honey you don't have to worry about being taken because they don't take the fat ones."
Looking back at it over all of these years I am still not sure how I should have taken it. Relieved that no one would take me or upset that no one wants a fat kid, not even a kidnapper. I do have to say, whatever her methods, I never worried about being kidnapped. I do however wonder what she would have said to me if I was skinny.
