Well who's laughing now, Dad! I can go see my own missile launch whenever I want to!
That's all I ever wanted, I think. Dad was always so busy teaching and writing, we never went to missile launches. And now I see Kim took his daughter to one, and it's just... It's hard not to compare, you know? It's hard to see that and not think about how my dad never really followed through on Communism, not enough to organize a nuclear program. Are my expectations too high? Am I the asshole here?
Take it as a sign of progress! When I was a kid, the closest thing to a missile launch my dad ever took me to see was when he and my uncles [REDACTED] our landlords. If you had told me the kids of today would have access to ICBM's I would have called you a utopian idealist, but now they're so common you can watch 3 test launches and still be home for lunch!! It's hard not to compare the hardships of yesterday to the luxuries of today, but just think about how far we have come since then
On the Venn Diagram of children whose parents are communists and children who got to see missile launches... you are not in the overlap.
