why don't you get a job?

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2019.04.06

I hope some day when I tell my kids "Why don't you get a job" or "Why don't you get a degree" they play this song at me in response.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.

—Steve Martin
