Bubbie bellers, “What in the world is going on?!” as he throws the newspaper down on the kitchen table. “They’ve arrested a dang thirteen-year-old boy for farting!” It’s true; in Stuart, FL. Can anybody tell me what law was broken? Was there a debate on the floor of the Florida Legislature with an outcry for justice? In Bubbie’s view, this is just another example of the dumbing down of America. Idiots and morons are running the country and ruining our lives and it crosses all party lines.
Bubbie walks out to his garden in silence and begins working; his mannerisms and energy still speak volumes. He could’ve ranted and raved about the stupidity of it all. He could have cried out for common sense. He could have expounded on the implications of these actions on the future of that boy’s life. He could have questioned how the “adults” involved can sleep well at night. But you might as well talk to a wall. What and despicable and crazy world it is.
