Nobody likes a "one upper." You got a better story or you know something worse that happened. Jesus Christ, man, I'm trying to share something not compete with you.

That kid of yours sounds terrific.

I really dislike people who always have to one up you.  Especially when it's talking about their children.  Listen every parent thinks their children are the next Bill Gates, Julia Roberts or Michael Jordan.  If you want to brag a little about your child's accomplishments.  That's fine.  I'm glad you're tickled with your offspring.  I will sit and listen and be impressed.  But at some point let's agree to shut down the PR department for your kid. (I know, no kids perfect.  Except Jesus.) Heck even in the Bible Mary didn't brag on Jesus all the time.  Think about it, he was changing water into wine.    I'm sure he did that more than once growing up.  This woman I ran into over the weekend, my goodness it got to a point I was waiting for her to work in that her child once had a private audience with the Pope.  I commented how proud she must be of her child.  My kids are pretty neat also.  They're typical kids and push the limits.  I told her how I'm tough with my children---sometimes when they'd cry, I just ignore them---how else would they learn to throw things. (I was joking, but I'm not sure she got it.)  What got me was when she rambled on that her daughter didn't like sweets and was such a healthy eater.  I told her not my kids.  I've replaced the refrigerator door handle 2 times since school was out!  Finally after hearing her go on and on about her  teenage children I decided I should share more.  I told her how now that my kids are older we can move on from "Theme Parks" to "Theme Casinos"!  I told her my son has an interest in software, but with college, I'm sure that'll include a padded bra now and then.  I don't know if this lady will sit near me again, but if she does, I'll be ready.  Perhaps I'll share a tale with her about my youth in the wilds of the Wishkah.  How I ran with some roughnecks as a child.  One of my neighbor friends had a sawed-off BB gun.

The One Upper (That Mutha Fucker!)

The one upper We all know one (or a few) in our lives What'd you have for supper they ask Steak with Potatoes and Sour Cream and Chives you say! "Well my supper consisted of" they start with a sly grin on their face I dined on Poached Lobster and Souflee in such a fancy little place The one upper We all have to deal with them Just remember, you can't kill them That would be bad And your mother would be sad when they hauled you away. One day, that one upper will have no supper and you will be smiling at that mother fucker! So keep your anger at bay, while they are mauled by karma just as I say.

The one upper.

JR made me a cute little scorpion out of scrap metal today. He's not a welder, but it's decent job for some scrap. I think it's cute. 

Of course, Mateo saw this. So just before lunch, while I was on the phone with a customer he dropped this creation off on my desk. 

Plasma cut dragon flies, hand forged scroll work, hand etched texture, powder coated, faux finish, and signed and dated at the bottom by Mateo (clearly not pictures as it contains his real name). 

So yeah... one upper.
