The Poetry Eye-Roll

Anstey:
With all parts of everything - I'm just going through a disagreeable phase.

So, while I'm here...
"my brother called me on his way home from work. He's in traffic and there's a guy in front of him screaming at what my bro thinks is a four year old kid. At some point the guy throws the kid's stuffed rabbit out the window and the kid is staring out the back window, crying, as the Dad drives on."

Yeh - he's a bastard - natural reaction. But really, in retrospect, how easy is it to assume that what is seen represents 'what happened'?

Consider this: the driver's brother made a call, asking to be picked up. The driver goes to the location given, the brother dives in the back, clutching a stuffed rabbit, prostrates himself and tells the driver to hit the gas. The four-year-old grabs the rabbit..."Ooh, a present, thank you brother-person". Driver grills brother - eventually, brother admits rabbit is stuffed with rocks/tabs/H-bombs - driver goes thermo-nuclear, snatches rabbit, throws rabbit out the window. 4-year-old bawls like a 4-year-old whose rabbit has just been thrown out the window.

Well, unlikely maybe - but possible. Was that a 4-year-old, or a pygmy psychopath. Was the driver the father of the 4-year-old? The pygmy's brief?
I don't know...all I know is what Tracey related of her brother's call while he was in traffic. But as I say, that has nothing to do with my comment. I just felt compelled to say 'I disagree' - probably because I suck :>
Sorry Tracey - it wasn't my intention to hijack or diss your comment - it could have been any time any place.
Anstey - now look what you've made me do!
