There's a big thumb sticking out of America...

Today on our drive home from Frankie's appointment...

"There's a big thumb sticking out of America, but most people don't see it. We are at our apex and no civilization stays like that, so we will fall. When we fall, how do you think people will think about us?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like the may-oes."

"Did you say 'tomatoes'?"

"NO. The May-Ons. Will people remember us like we remember the May-Ons?"

"OH! I am sure people will remember us, just like we remember the Mayans."

"Because now our president is getting too much power. When we made the Declaring of Independence we said that the president could not send people to war. That power went to the Supreme something. But now the president does it and it is a big thumb sticking out of America."

"Isn't 60% better than 55%?"

"It depends of what it is 60% of."

"Well it says here that roy-jes can reduce their eminees to 60% of their power but warriors can reduce their eminees to 55% of their power."

"In that case 55% is better. It means that warriors can make their enemies less powerful than rogues can."

"Oh."

"Do you want me to find that radio station again? Maybe there will be another song by that cobra guy you liked."

"You mean Nat King Cole? Sure. See if you can find it. Let's listen to the cobra guy!"

And Frankie laughs.

Earlier he asked me if I liked Beet-oh-van. I said yes, but I liked Motzart better.
