Ya Shoulda Read the Fine Print, Bubba

I see that Bubba’s so forlorn. He’s too depressed to talk today. Two months in a full-body cast can keep one’s cheerfulness at bay. He donned his super hero suit and took a header off the roof (two-story!) Nothing broke his fall. He lies now, silent and aloof. He’d failed to read the tiny print: “This suit can’t really make you fly.” If he weren’t forty-five years old, I’d feel compassion—even cry.
