I’ve learned not to [BLEEP] about the heat. Anytime I ever did the reply I got from my dad was “You haven’t experienced heat until you’ve been to Vietnam. Uh… thank you dad for bettering my childhood more than you had. As well as serving the country. Im in a better position thanks to your apparent miserable time at war. All I can say is heat is relative, father. And the heat I’m experiencing is obviously on the higher side that “I” have had to endure…. Thanks again, btw if I didn’t mention that earlier. Is this a good time to remind you that you’re on blood thinners, thus making it feel slightly better to you? No? Ok.

Yeah, I just keep my mouth shut now
