You'll be swell, you'll be great

Listening to a sports radio show on the way home from work last week, I decided that I wanted to be a professional basketball player in Belgium. Getting paid to live in Belgium sounds pretty good to me.

Far from supporting my dream, my parents started pointing out various flaws in my plan, such as the fact that I am a 5'1" girl with no talent or interest in basketball and with a contempt for most athletes. I was horrified and disappointed that my family didn't support my decision automatically and tell me to shoot for my dreams because if I want it enough, I can do anything. No, there they were, letting a little thing like reality get in the way. Due to this lack of parental support, my dream was abandoned early on.

Listening to the sports radio show on the way to work yesterday, I told my parents that I now want to play baseball for the Detroit Tigers, who are currently breaking sucking records left and right. My parents said that I probably couldn't make them any worse than they already are.

It's great to have that kind of parental support.
