Good morning folks,
I will be working in Montréal today.
I worked late last night, got home and answered the day's emails extending the day well past midnight. So this morning I dug up a Pulp idea that I had tucked away for a tired morning.
The original impetus was a Huffington Post blog titled something like "6 Things I wish I never told my children". I no longer have a link to the original blog but it was along the lines of telling junior that he is special can create a false sense for Johnny that the sun rises and sets in his derrière.
But what my mind quickly raced to was to certain infamous Johnnies and Janes and things their parents may have said.. and regretted.
Without much further ado here is my quick list.
Nero my boy, find a nice girl, settle down, why you could even become Emperor. just please, don't get involved in scandal, it would just kill me. - Agrippina
Lyle, Erik, your mother and I are loaded and we're leaving everything to you in our wills. - Jose Menendez
