Don’t Bother

28 Jun

So, you blew it. I knew you would. I gave you one last chance to redeem yourself, ONE, and not only did you show up drunk, you showed up with your fly hanging open; it was no small feat to distract 15 six-year olds.

Happy damn birthday, right?

I’m done. So, dear John, the next time you feel like making amends?

Don’t.
