The American Dream

We all have big dreams for our kids. We all want our kids to pursue their passions, use their talents, and contribute to society. And we all say we’ll support our kids in whatever endeavors they pursue.

Except if they played a vacuum like a sax. Or a baseball bat like an oboe.

I’m writing this with America’s Got Talent on in the background. And some guy just had the courage to display his talent for the world. A talent for playing unusual objects like instruments.

And deep down I really hope Westly has bigger aspirations in life than vacuum-playing on TV.

Although right now he’s obsessed with our vacuum. But I trust this is just a phase.
