Role Reversal

Some years back, I was more active in community affairs and would occasionally wind up being interviewed on TV. The kids would sometimes hear about it from their friends and would ask me why I hadn’t told them I was going to be on.

They saw me every day. I didn’t see that it would be a big deal.

Yesterday, before the Sugar Bowl (University of Cincinnati vs. University of Florida), my Blackberry started going crazy. Had I seen my son doing the promo for UC?

No, I hadn’t. A surprise, although he’s a former UC athlete, so that would make sense. My reflex was to call him and ask why he hadn’t given me a heads up. But, he’d probably remind me that I see him all the time.

Okay, now I get it.
