In
response to last week’s question, "What do Bat Boys become when they grow
up?," my neighbor Al, cycling friend Ted and cat-loving friend
Tracey shared, "Everybody Sing -- Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da--Batman!
Duh!" My BBQ-loving friend Bruce added, "You so know the
popular answer to that one! Batman! Except for that one guy who
became Batgirl."
My
collaboration friend Paul noted the question was in plural and replied,
"Batmen" while my friend Richard suggested, "Vampires! ….or
possibly other forms of blood-sucking creatures, such as members of Congress or
used car salespersons."
My hiking friend
Kelley cautioned, " If you’re speaking of the bat boy of Weekly World news
lore, I think they grow up to be the monsters from the 2005 horror flick 'The
Descent'."
My
social media friend Mark noted, "Fantasy baseball camp participants,"
while my dad's beach buddy Bob surmised, "Louisville Sluggers?,"
while my writing friend Stan declared, "Bat Boys become Clubhouse Boys –
and some them become drug runners."
And
then my cable marketing friend Megan put this all in perspective when she
wrote, "Do any boys ever really grow up? Is there such thing as a
grown man? ”
Please share your thoughts about
this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:
Can you
recreate something new?
Never miss an
opportunity to do something that makes you smile!
