Four Words You Never Want Your Baby to Grow Up to Say…

Last Friday night, I found myself sitting in the third row of McCaw Hall listening to a comedian, I personally did not find particularly funny.  His jokes about Hot Pockets and being over weight made me long for the humor of someone that would make me slap my knees like the patron sitting next to me.  The poor soul sitting adjacent must have had bruises from slapping his leg at every punchline.  After an hour and a half skit, he found every joke hysterical while I found it insufferable.  But, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose, so is comedy.

I love honest, raw, witty, thought provoking comedy.  Yesterday, a brilliant artist who had that gift, Robin Williams would have turned 64.  I fondly recall the early years of Mork and Mindy and one of my favorite movies, The World According to Garp. However, when I think of my favorite Robin William’s one liner, I remember when I first had my son, 21 years ago.  Oh how I marveled at what Brett’s future would unravel. As any proud new parent, I had visions of my “heir” not being an “error” and becoming a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur,  or even, President! One night, I cuddled with my baby boy watching a Robin Williams Comedy routine and, he said, “What are four words no parent wants their child to grow up and say?”  The answer, “Hello, welcome to MacDonalds.”  Now, that is slap your leg funny!
All kidding aside, all work is good work and I say just get a J-O-B!  As my son prepares to graduate from Foster School of Business this winter, this resonates clearly.  So anyone hiring, please inbox me!  And oh yes, I will be in big trouble with Brett for posting this!  Check out his linkedin Brett Frank-Looney.
