Day 958: My Boss's Very Smart Son

I have a funny story from the other morning while yet another snow storm hit the Washington, DC area.


My boss walks into the office shouting, “Kids are so stupid!”


Me: “What did he do?” – referring to his 22 year old son.


Boss: “You know what my idiot son did? He drove from Sterling to DC for his ‘band practice’ in a snow storm. Now he’s stuck on the side of the road and to make matters worse he ran out of gas.”


Co-worker: “Is he by himself.”


Boss: “No, he has his 19 year-old girlfriend with him… but I can’t believe was an idiot he is.”


Me: “Wait a minute… your son is stuck on the side of the road in a snow storm with his girlfriend? He sounds pretty smart to me.”


The comment made my boss pause… he smiled as he choked back a laugh… looked at me and said, “I see where you’re going and I’m not prepared to have that conversation.”
