RegularDad: Man, I hope this stock I bought just takes off. ‘Cause if it does, I’m gonna cash it all in and open up a store, so I don’t have to go to work anymore.
Me: Ohh…kay…. You really want to go into business for yourself, then?
RegularDad: Oh, yeah.
Me: You realize that you’d be working, like, ALL the time? If you started your own business.
RegularDad: Yeah, I know.
Me: Okay. So, what kind of store would you open?
RegularDad: Oh, anything.
Me: A music store?
RegularDad (at the same time): Donuts.
Me: Donuts?
RegularDad: Oooooh!…. How about donuts and music?
Me: Donuts and music?
RegularDad: Yeah. People could be like: “Yeah, I’ll take that Les Paul* there…and gimmee a powdered jelly, too.”
Me: Mmm…hmm. And you could maybe have a drive-through window, too.
RegularDad: Yeah. People could drive up and say, “Yeah, I need a coffee, and a pack of D’Addarrios**… and a cruller.”
Me: And what if someone only wanted donuts?
RegularDad: That’s okay. That’d work. I’d give out free guitar picks with every dozen.

I’ll take those things that you put on drumsticks that makes them quieter. They do make things like that don’t they? I need several. And anything thing else that makes drums quieter. Vodka? Oh, and a 1/2 size violin, a decent beginner’s guitar, strings for a McNally Strumstick and a dozen cinnamon rolls. Do you ship overnight?
Glad to know my husband isn’t the only one who comes home dreaming of starting his own business…. And then I ask him what kind and he says, “How about a taco stand?”. Mmm Hmm… Don’t quit your day job just yet, honey.
Come to think of it… if you lived closer we could go into business together. I’m just certain there is a demand for guitars, donuts, and tacos– with a drive through!
ROTFL! There’s a special place in heaven just The Dreamers.
Oh man, when RegularDad sees this he’s gonna be all like: MUSIC, DONUTS, and TACOS!!!! That’s BRILLIANT!!!
I’m feeling a very Homer Simpson vibe with Regular Dad.
HA HA~! P says he is going to retire and open his own boat company. Somewhere on the water. IT has become the great debate.
