You often heard jokes from your dad's civilian friends and from your own mom about Marines eating crayons. You also heard jokes about Marines being very dumb. Being five, you took these jokes seriously, you didn't know they were jokes.

Keegan, your dad, ignored these jokes. As he played into the dumb roll a bit, there's a reason why he went into military, it wasn't because he was smart.

Keegan sat on the couch watching a hockey game with a can of Dr. Pepper on the coffee table that he'd sip on. You came in with a red crayon and gave it to him. He took it and played right into the eating crayons roll by chomping right into it without a second thought.
