Remember scratch

   Scratch.       Scratch?  Could you provide more context?

Sure
      Ive not used it in years It was terribly fun it appeared  Back to back dreams     Money  Cash
Ohsure of course.
Kindafun huh
 
Ohmy.  Scratch.  she laughed
                                   Almost feels like scratch coming off my tongue.
True
      I remember my Maw dressin people down You can go scratch your ass.
I loved it

How was it you said?

Cindi asked me to buy her some fries patted my pockets  No scratch babe  She laughedknew I disliked carrying money
Went into her purse handed me some bills 
                                             Next I was telling my Dad about a porkchop recipe Cindi shared with me He was all about itsaid hed like to try it I looked about he had everything but porkchops Told him He said go pick some up Happy to Dad  again to my pocketspatted No scratch Dad   Son  man has always called me son  you really ought to carry some cash. I told him when homeless try to shake me down as Hare Krishna did on the el or a bus I can be honest
Sorry I don carry cash

Their incredulityconfidence I was lying   was wonderful    Breathtaking
                                                                                Skated on by without missing a step
Terribly humoured


Any idea why it occurred to you?
 
Yes I believe so
                    Remember  drop a dime
OhmyGod. You a freakin time traveler?
Seems
         A payphone cost a dime to make a local call
Wasnt the same when it jumped to a quarter drop a quarter
                                                                Absolutely colourless  Fuckin inert
That’s something else.  Thanks for reminding me.

Read it in a book earlier in the week
                                        Use it on someone  Take in their expression
I used it on a twentysomething cashier at the grocers                             

He was fuckin inert Like I hadnt spoken English

   He did manage Whatever.

Teach Your Children  Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCdhdeW5y-s

“. . . a focus on past guilt . . . children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents . . .”
                                                                                                Elon Musk

to equate history and guilt is shameful
                                         is a country frail or errant if it teaches its children their history why they are where they are

Germany teaches its children about the Holocaust

the Holocaust is history and should never be forgotten

Musks horseshit is reminiscent of America and efforts of some of its parts that flinch are repulsed or deny the countrys founding and resulting worldwide affluence due to its history and the horror of slavery since 1619

   simple  fact
                   John Adams
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot be alter the state of facts and evidence.”
    

   to not properly informeducate our children is abject cowardice
