There is a child inside all of us, who comes out in front of the person we are most comfortable with.

Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver.
From Restoration of Chaos and Order by punk band Against All Authority
As the story goes, I guess Nana was being herself and was squabbling with Papaw. I guess he told her to shut the fuck up or he was going to duct tape her mouth shut. True to her nature, Nana kept flapping her gums. And true to his word, my Papaw grabbed his cane, hobbled to the hot water closet in the hall (that was where he kept all the household tools) and grabbed a roll of duct tape. Nana, unawares, and probably patting herself on the back for getting him pissed off, never seen it coming. He taped her whole head; around the mouth, around the head. TAPED. HER. WHOLE. HEAD!!!!!! I guess he left her some holes to breathe through, but the rest was SOLID silver. I have no idea how she got out of it, and I seem to recall that Papaw had a visit from Lubbock’s finest.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that one. I think anyone who knew my grandmother, God rest her soul, would have had pom-poms and been cheering my Papaw on.
When I ran across the graphic above it instantly made me think of that story.

It’s only when you see a mosquito landing on your testicles that you realize that there is always a way to solve problems without using violence.
