Sweet mother of God, WHY is he here? What have I done to deserve this vexation? I'm a "Good enough" mother...I do my best. And yet, here comes the only human being on the face of Terra firma known to make my cranium contents explode through my left nostril. Of course he didn't call first, why give me an opportunity to not answer the phone?
Odd isn't it, how I love The Mer more than I loved Leif Garrett, circa 1972, and yet his father...well, remember "Sigmund and The Sea Monsters"? Sid and Marty Kroft show, same era. The Mer's dad...The Sea Monster.
Maybe that explains "Mer-boy"? Hmm.
Conversation overheard just now, as The Sea Monster is trying to help Mer get to the next level on "Sponge Bob-The Yellow Avenger":
Mer-boy- "Dad, did you really used to live in Japan?"
The Sea Monster-"I made a gadget and when it got to Japan it didn't work, so I got to go live where the gadget lived so I could fix it when it broke."
Mer-boy-"What was it like?"
The Sea Monster-"And all the women are this tall, have black hair and look the same. Oh, and you can buy Vodka on every street corner in soda pop vending machines."
Mer-Boy- "Mom and I watched "Kill Bill" last night."
