RDP Tuesday: OTTER

Karl Hubbuch
“You ought to know better”.
I heard those words so many times when I was growing up that I
started to think they were my first, last and middle name.
Not that I cared because after a point
I tuned out when I heard the scream:
” Jesus Christ! You ought to know better “
So with less then half my attention on those often heard words
what I caught was
” You otter know better. “
and instead of paying attention to the fact that once again
I was the village idiot and was going to bring disgrace and shame upon my Father’s
house for doing or saying something truly pathetic and embarrassing
I got an overwhelming urge for a Grape flavored Otter Pop
and I couldn’t think of anything else.
Wait. I tell a lie.
Sometimes I got the urge for a raspberry otter pop.
A blue raspberry otter pop.
I know, I know, I know
I’m pretty sure I spun waaaayyyy off on this prompt, I’ve been doing them for ages and-
I otter know better.
