The Emasculated Male
When I got on the plane to come home yesterday, I happened to get in front of a father and his ~2 year old son sitting right behind me. Following is a transcript of the monologue the father had with his son for the last five minutes before takeoff.
“Jackson, time to sit down.”
“Jackson, time to sit down.”
“Jackson, look at daddy.”
“Jackson, look at daddy.”
“Jackson can you hear me? It’s time to sit down. Look at daddy. Time to sit down.”
“Jackson, do you want to go fast on the plane? Do you want to go zoom zoom?”
“Jackson, look at daddy. It’s time to sit down. The air will still blow on you when you sit down.”
“Jackson, do you want everyone on the plane to have to wait while you sit down?”
“Jackson, look at daddy. Time to sit down. It’s time to sit down.”
“Do you want to go see mommy? Do you love mommy? We can’t go see mommy until you sit down.”
“Jackson do you want to have to get off the plane because you are not listening to daddy?”
“Do you want to go see mommy? Do you love mommy? We can’t go see mommy until you sit down.”
“Jackson do you want to have to get off the plane because you are not listening to daddy?”
“Jackson, look at daddy. Time to sit down. Look at daddy.”
“Jackson, do you love mommy? If you love mommy and want to see her you will sit down.”
“Jackson, time to sit down.”
“Jackson, the pilot is getting ready to fly the plane. Time to sit down.”
(Jackson FINALLY sits down)
“What a good boy Jackson! Such a good boy for listening to daddy.”
Memo to Dad:
You may want to ask your wife to give you back your family jewels. Apparently you don’t know you’ve lost them.
