Anti-peer pressure

(Walking the neighborhood)

Me: O hey there are other houses here with flagpoles. I guess I can get one for my house too and no one will mind.

Grandboy (adamant): GRANDPA. Even if no one else has a flagpole that shouldn’t stop you from getting one if it’s nice and you like it. Are you going to do what everyone else does, or what you need to do?!?

Me: Haha, you’re right. You’ve been talking to your momma again, huh, boy?
