Dueling Parents

one starts by talking about what they did on the weekend, subtly sliding in the name of their kid & the bragging rights get pulled just as quickly as the pistol at high noon in a spaghetti western--- the dueling parent pulls their own kid from their holster & begins to blab about how amazing s/he is, whilst the other parent is trying their best to out-do what this kidslinging parent has already done--- with bull*****bullets flying, mixing fact with fiction, making these innocent kids out to be the best human beings that ever walked the face of this planet, so that the parents of these kids can float away with their over-inflated egos & the rest of us in the room get to watch & listen, wondering the whole time if that is the real reason that they had them in the first place.
