Cheater - Preview
It's late in the evening at the Bumstead residence as Blondie and Dagwood lay in bed, reading before bedtime as they always do. Her mind obviously elsewhere, Blondie sighs as she sets her book down, staring at the ceiling with an irritated expression on her face. Looking over his reading glasses, Dagwood queries his wife...
Dagwood: What's on your mind, dear?
Blondie: Honey, do you think I'm out of touch...you know, with the kids?
Dagwood: By 'out of touch' do mean they think we're a coupla old geezers because we prefer to... Oh, I dunno, read actual paper-bound books instead of staring at a screen for hours on end -or- talk to other human beings face to face rather than have entire conversations in emojis? Then yes, you're out of touch with the kids.
Blondie: Smart aleck. Cookie's easy...we're woman. Cute boys, clothes shopping, makeup...I can always find some common ground with her. But Alexander...it's like talking to an alien from another planet. When he doesn't have his phone glued to the tip of his nose as his thumbs do a mile a minute, he's yelling at some 'noob' on his computer screen to 'quit camping'...whatever the heck that means?
Dagwood: Maybe that's just it...you need to find some common ground with him. Going on a bike ride? Outta the question...you'll never get him out of the house. So, I dunno, sit down and do something he's familiar with...play some Fortnite or GTA with him.
Blondie: Fort-what? Uhhhhh, I'm going to assume those are video games? Honey, the last video game I played required me to put a quarter into it.
Dagwood: Wow. You really are out of touch.
Blondie: Thanks you, dear. Who's side are you on anyway?
