Double T’s Parents Were Above The Law
When Double T was little, his parents like to work above the law.
When Double T was little his parents liked to go for dinner on Friday nights to a place in Glen Ellyn, Illinois called Big Banjo.
A few years ago, the Chicago Tribune in their "Whatever Happened To" feature did a story about Big Banjo and they talked to Double T's Dad about it.
Here's what he said in that Chicago Tribune article.
Well, that's not all of the story.
Sometimes Double T would be a cranky baby, just like any normal kid. It was his parents one night to go out, so they didn't want that to ruin their night.
One night they tried an experiment and guess what, it worked. They poured a little beer out of their pitcher into his bottle. After a couple of sips, he was in a much better mood. He would even start dancing along with the band's music.
Now before you start judging them, remember it was a much different time. Kids didn't wear helmets when riding their bikes. Children didn't use seat belts. You could go play with your friends without your parents knowing where you were at all times.
Of course nowadays, Double T's parents would get in big trouble. That could change with a proposed new law.
I hope the lawmakers are careful comparing Illinois to Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin, drinking is a way of life. People are allowed to get multiple OWI's. Sometimes, it seems like they are almost encourage when you see stories about people getting their 10th OWI and not in jail.
Also, there isn't much to do in Wisconsin. Drinking, hunting, drinking, watch the Packers, and drinking.
