As I enter Krogers there is usually a small table on the right with a few discounted
books.
And that's when I spotted it: Dick Cheney's new book - at 40% off.
It was the last one so I knew I was 'meant' to buy it.
~~~
I couldn't wait to get home and show it to my Conservative - and getting worse all
the time - husband, holding it up and saying defiantly:
'We were out of toilet paper so I got this.'
~~~
That night I picked it up - anxious to discover what I already knew, that Dick Cheney
is a mean, Darth Vader, waterboarding son-of-a-bitch.
But since I always turn to the picture section first, my eyes fell on the pictures of him
with his grandchildren.
~~~
Now we grandparents have a special bond and it's not about our grandchildren as such,
but of the PICTURES of our grandchildren.
And Dick Cheney's pictures of his grandchildren are to die for.
~~~
Right then I knew that I would never read the book, because I had seen the pictures of
him with his grandchildren.
Sure, I still think Dick Cheney is a mean, Darth Vader, waterboarding son-of-a-bitch.
That will never change.
~~~
But I've seen the pictures of him with his grandchildren -
and I can't break that special grandparents' bond.
