THOSE KIDS. YOU NEED TO TAKE A GOOD LONG

LOOK AT YOURSELF. YOU RELY ON EVERYBODY

TO DO THINGS FOR YOU. YOU KNOW,

YOUR KIDS DON'T EVEN EXPECT CHRISTMAS PRESENTS THIS YEAR

FROM YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT,

IF YOU HAD ONE CENT, YOU'D SPEND IT ON YOURSELF, OR YOU'D PUT IT IN SOME STUPID

SCHEME THAT DOESN'T PAY OFF. AND ON TOP OF THAT,

MY LITTLE TIMMY HAS A BLACK EYE FOR THE CHRISTMAS PORTRAI THIS YEAR BECAUSE HARLEY WAS TOO BUSY

SAVING YOUR BUTT, INSTEAD OF WALKING HIM HOME

FROM TOWN. AND I'M SORRY I SAID "BUTT." OKAY? DON'T SAY THAT.
